Erratum to “Genome-wide association study for rotator cuff tears identifies two significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms” (Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (2016) 25(2) (174–179) (S1058274615003791) (10.1016/j.jse.2015.07.005))

Abstract

In the abovementioned article, the first paragraph of the Results section references the wrong single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The paragraph is posted below with the corrected SNP information. “In particular, 2 markers showed significant association to rotator cuff tearing, rs820218 on chromosome 17q25.1 at 73,687,545 base pairs (hg19) residing in the SAP30BP gene and rs12527089 on chromosome 6q24.3 at 148,787,159 base pairs residing in the SASH1 gene. For rs820218, the minor allele frequency (MAF) for cases was 17.5%, and the MAF for controls was 35% (odds ratio, 0.4; 95% confidence interval, 0.3-0.5). For rs12527089, the MAF for cases was 8.3%, and the MAF for controls was 3.5% (odds ratio, 2.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-3.4).” The authors apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
