Post publication, the authors noticed that there was a miscalculation in table 6, which also had implications within the text of their article. The corrected table and text are published here.

Table 6 Uptake PGD for HD in the three countries

The authors would like to apologise for their errors.

Page 5: PGD uptake

The sentence ‘Over a period of 10 years, the uptake of PGD for HD in Belgium was 8.5%, in the Netherlands the uptake was 5.8% and in France 3.7%.’ should be replaced by ‘Over a period of 10 years, the uptake of PGD for HD in Belgium was 1.7%; in the Netherlands, it was 1.2%; and in France, it was 0.7%.’

Page 7: Uptake

The sentence ‘The 10-year uptake of PGD for HD in Belgium in the at-risk population in the reproductive age was 8.5%, in the Netherlands it was 5.8% and in France 3.7%’. should be replaced by ‘The 10-year uptake of PGD for HD in Belgium, in the at-risk population in the reproductive age, was 1.7%; in the Netherlands, it was 1.2%; and in France, it was 0.7%.’
