While the right bottom line of Table 1 in our article titled as “Using Intracardiac Hyperechogenic Focus as the Identifier of Down Syndrome in Turkish Population” (Perinatology Journal Volume 17, Issue: 4 / December 2004, 163-167) published in your journal should give the data for the trisomy 21 negative cases who do not have hyperechogen focus, cases who were positive for hyperechogenic focus but without trisomy 21 were given by mistake. Correct data and statistics corrected accordingly are given below.

Table 1. Odds Ratio (OR) for Trisomy 21 when soft marker (SM) was detected together with hyperechogenic focus (HF).
