An error has been found on page 1224 of this article, concerning the calculation of the frequency of heterozygous, unaffected carriers of recessive alleles causing retinitis pigmentosa. Specifically, the allele frequency was erroneously used as the measure of carrier frequency.
The following page shows the corrected version of page 1224 and Figure 2.
Female carriers of mutations in X-linked RP genes are all mosaics because of differential X chromosome inactivation (Lyonization). They usually have fundus features and/or electroretinographic
