%N Numbers n such that binomial(2n,n)+1 is prime.

%C a(45) > 40000. All the primes corresponding to terms up to a(44) have been certified by the PFGW software performing the Brillhart-Lehmer-Selfridge N-1 test. - _Giovanni Resta_, Apr 05 2017

%e C(4,2) + 1 = 7, a prime; so 2 is a term of the sequence.
