In the original publication of the article, the frequency of loss-of-function mutations in AXIN1, AXIN2 and APC was underestimated in Table 1. The correct frequencies of these mutations in HCC are 10.4, 3.3, and 1.4%, respectively (in the following page).

On page 421, in the section of “Aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling during HCC”, the sentence following “Missense, insertion, or partial deletions within CTNNB1 exon 3 lead to … stabilization of β-catenin in the cytoplasm” should be read as “Less frequently, loss-of-function mutation of AXIN1, AXIN2, or APC is found in 10.4, 3.3, and 1.4% of HCCs respectively…”.
