Leveraging Functional-Annotation Data in Trans-ethnic Fine-Mapping Studies

(The American Journal of Human Genetics 97, 260–271; August 6, 2015)

The original version of this article, published online July 16, 2015, unfortunately contained two mistakes. In the first paragraph on page 263, equation ${\sigma }_{e,p}^2=\left({\sigma }_{g,p}^2-h_g^2\ast {\sigma }_{g,p}^2/h_g^2\right)$ should have been ${\sigma }_{e,p}^2=\left({\sigma }_{g,p}^2-h_g^2\ast {\sigma }_{g,p}^2\right)/h_g^2$. Also, in the first Results paragraph, “do incorporate” should have been “do not incorporate” in the following sentence: “For example, MANTRA meta-analysis requires 1.9 and 96.8 SNPs per locus in order to identify 50% and 90% of the causal variants, respectively, whereas methods that allow multiple causal variants but do incorporate functional data require 1.2 and 7.0 SNPs per locus to identify 50% and 90% of the causal variants, respectively.⁴⁶” These errors have now been corrected online and in print.
