error

"mixed pre- and postaxial polydactyly"

Line 6:11 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-'.

Number Spacing

error

"Precise estimates of incidence are difficult to determine, as ascertainment is erratic (estimated range 1 - 9 per 1,000,000) ²."

Line 15:108 · In a number range, there should not be spaces around the hyphen ('1 - 9').

Biographical Date Spacing

error

Emphasis

warning

"GCPS is caused by loss of function mutations in the GLI3 transcription factor gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern."
