    The following reference was definitely published but has not been updated in PubMed:

    Tatour Y, Sanchez-Navarro I, Chervinsky E, Hakonarson H, Gawi H, Tahsin-Swafiri S, Leibu R, Lopez-Molina MI, Fernandez-Sanz G, Ayuso C, Ben-Yosef T. Mutations in SCAPER cause autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa with intellectual disability. J Med Genet. 2017 Aug 9. pii: jmedgenet-2017-104632. doi: 10.1136/jmedgenet-2017-104632. doi: 10.1136/jmedgenet-2017-104632. [Epub ahead of print] PMID: 28794130

    The correct reference is J Med Genet 2017;54:698–704

    The following reference got an authorship error. the last author is cited as THOMAS RD but his famyly name is DANIEL and his fisrt name is Roy Daniel, so ti should be cited as DANIEL RT. I already wrote to the journal to publish an erratum, could it be possible to fix the citation issue?

    Thanks,

    Good afternoon,
    I have notice that pubmed has listed two of my publication with the incorrect name (https://academic.oup.com/ibdjournal/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ibd/izy265/5073122) and (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29554255). My name official name is "C. Alexander Valencia" and should appear in pubmed as "Valencia CA", however, it appears as "Alexander Valencia C". Please correct this error.

    Thanks,
    C. Alexander Valencia
