The “In This Issue” feature in the November 1, 2009 issue of Biological Psychiatry (66:811) contained a factual error. In describing the Chen et al. article, we stated that the authors investigated postmortem hippocampal tissue, when in fact, they investigated postmortem hypothalamic tissue. The Journal apologizes for this error.

No evidence of genetic or epigenetic changes in the vicinity of the QKI locus was identified. These alterations suggest that deficits in myelination-related pathways may underlie multiple psychiatric disorders.
