Lee K, Prehu C, Merault G, Keclard L, Roudot-Thoraval F, Bachir D, Wajcman H, Denis L, Galacteros F. Geneticand hematological studies in a group of 114 adult patients with SC sickle cell disease. Am J Hematol 59:15–21, 1998.

On page 17, under the heading, “Alpha Gene Status,” paragraph three reads:

As shown on Table II, the coinheritance of the−3.7deletion with Hb SC disease significantly reduced MCV and MCHwhereas erythrocytes, white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets were increased.

In order for the text to agree with the findings of Table II, the paragraph should read as follows:

As shown on Table II, the coinheritance of the−3.7deletion with Hb SC disease significantly reduced MCV and MCHwhereas erythrocytes, white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets were decreased.
