In the version of this paper published on line Jun 21, 2013, three authors were unfortunately omitted from the author list. Wado Akamatsu, Manabu Ohyama and Hideyuki Okano have not been added here. Wado Akamatsu and Hideyuki Okano are at the Department of Physiology, Keio University School of Medicine, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan, and Manabu Ohyama is at the Department of Dermatology, Keio University School of Medicine, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Within the Materials and Methods, the description of Patients’ samples has been corrected as follows: Peripheral blood leukocytes and skin fibroblasts were obtained from the twin patients. Written informed consent was obtained from parents of the twins before collection of the patient samples and prior to publishing details of the patient cases. The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the research ethics committees of University of Yamanashi (Nos. 523, 699), National Institute of Genetics (Nos. 22-1, 23-19), and Keio University (No. 20080016). This study was conducted in accordance with the principles expressed in the Declaration of Helsinki.
Additionally, the designation of the patient RS-1M has been corrected to RS1 and the designation of the patient RS-2T has been corrected to RS2 in the text and the figures of this paper.
The authors regret these errors.

Hello there,
I was reading this paper as part of a small project for my course and found some minor typos, and thought of letting you know of those...
1 Just below the abstract section, where it says Competing interest -> The authors have declared that no comprting interests exist.
2 in the materials and methods section (Patients' Samples) 4th line of the paragraph -> ...prior to publishing details of the patient cases.The study... (there needs to be space between the full stop and The study

Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your points. As you suggested, "comprting" should be "competing", and there should be a space between the full stop and That Study in the materials and methods section (Patients' Samples) 4th line of the paragraph. I would greatly appreciate it if you make these corrections. Best regards, Takeo Kubota (corresponding author).

Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your correction to the author lists while you are very busy. I also thank you for your point to misspelling ("comprting" should be "competing"). I could like to ask you whether (1) the correction to the Materials and Methods and (2) the designation of the patient RS-1M and RS-2T in the text and figures. Please let me know what I should do for these more corrections. Best regards, Takeo Kubota (corresponding author).

Hi again,
I discovered yet another typing mistake...in the introduction section, last paragraph and second last line 'with a disease' was repeated twice. And as far as the correction is considered, I cannot edit the mistakes out because I have no contribution to the paper itself...I am just a University student who just happened to have read your paper and found some mistakes but I cannot edit the paper!
Best wishes,
