Erratum to: Incidental findings of uncertain significance: To know or not to know – that is not the question

Erratum
Following publication of the original article in BMC Medical Ethics [1], it was brought to my attention that the following sentences are incorrect:
“Moreover, genetics professionals appear to think that to know is better than not to know [25] even when the information is actionable [26].” This sentence should read: Moreover, genetics professionals appear to think that to know is better than not to know [25] even when the information is not actionable [26].
“Let me therefore now turn to arguments for a right to know before summarizing the arguments in Table 1.”
This sentence should read: Let me therefore now turn to arguments for a right not to know before summarizing the arguments in Table 1.
I apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused.
