Correction to: Potential autofertility in true hermaphrodites

This article refers to:
Potential autofertility in true hermaphrodites

Bayraktar Z. (2017). Potential autofertility in true hermaphrodites. The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14767058.2017.1291619.

When the above article was published online:

  • In the Abstract section, the sentences “However, self-fertilization was detected in mammals. Pregnancy through self-fertilization developed in 7 of over 250 hermaphrodite rabbits with ovotestis that were observed by being isolated and all of them gave birth to healthy rabbits.” was replaced with “However, autofertilization was detected in mammalian hermaphrodites such as domestic rabbit.”

  • On page 544, paragraph 5 under the heading Self-fertilization/Autofertilization was replaced by the following title and paragraph:

    Self-fertilization/autofertilization

    There was no hermaphrodite case that was reported to have become pregnant through autofertilization among humans. However, there were autofertilization pregnancies reported among mammals. In 1990, Frankenhuis et al. [25] reported that a case of combined hermaphroditism and autofertilisation in a domestic rabbit. A true hermaphrodite rabbit which was housed in isolation, became pregnant and delivered seven healthy young of both sexes. It was kept in isolation and when autopsied was again pregnant and demonstrated two functional ovaries and two infertile testes. A chromosome preparation revealed a diploid number of autosomes and two sex chromosomes of uncertain configuration [25].

This has now been corrected in the text.
