Corrigendum to " Associations of maternal long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, methyl mercury, and infant development in the Seychelles Child Development Nutrition Study" [NeuroToxicology 29(5) (2008) 776-782]

In the article cited above, it has recently come to the authors’ attention that there were errors in the calculation of Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Arachidonic acid (AA), Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), Linoleic acid (LA), V-3 and V-6 concentrations. These errors resulted from applying an incorrect conversion factor to account for sample dilution. As a result, the values for these longchain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) concentrations in Table 2 were incorrectly reported. More specifically, the means, standard deviations and ranges of the reported LCUPFA values are overestimated and should be divided by 6.25. Reported values for the AA/DHA ratio and V-6/V-3 ratio in Table 2 are not affected. The estimated regression coefficients for DHA, AA, EPA + DHA, V-3 and V-6 shown in Table 4 are underestimated and should be multiplied by 6.25, while the p-values are unchanged. Estimated regression coefficients for AA/ DHA ratio and V-6/V-3 in Table 4 are not affected. Results presented in Table 3 and Fig. 1 are not affected. Further details are available from the first author upon request. The conclusions of this article remain unchanged. The authors regret the errors. A R T I C L E I N F O
