In the August 2002 issue of the Journal, in the article “Genetic Variation in the 6p22.3 Gene DTNBP1, the Human Ortholog of the Mouse Dysbindin Gene, Is Associated with Schizophrenia,” by Straub et al. (71:337–348), for each of six SNPs, the identities of the common and rare frequency nucleotides (bases) were reversed by the authors, and thus the following errors appear.
-
1.
In table 2 (p. 341), in the “Polymorphism” column, the entry for P1635 should read “A/G,” the entry for P1325 should read “C/T,” the entry for P1765 should read “G/A,” the entry for P1757 should read “G/A,” the entry for P1763 should read “A/C,” and the entry for P1140 should read “A/C.”

In table 3 (p. 342), in the “Overtransmitted Allele (Frequency)” column, the entry for P1635 should read “G (.102),” the entry for P1325 should read “T (.088),” the entry for P1765 should read “A (.167),” the entry for P1757 should read “A (.167),” and the entry for P1763 should read “C (.155).”

In figure 1 (p. 343), the column for haplotype P1287-P1655-P1635 should read (top to bottom) “CGG,” the column for haplotype P1655-P1635-P1325 should read “GGC,” the column for haplotype P1635-P1325-P1765 should read “GCA,” the column for haplotype P1325-P1765-P1757 should read “CAA,” the column for haplotype P1765-P1757-P1320 should read “AAT,” the column for haplotype P1757-P1320-P1763 should read “ATC,” the column for haplotype P1320-P1763-P1578 should read “TCC,” and the column for haplotype P1763-P1578-P1583 should read “CCC.”

On page 342, the final sentence of the left-hand column should read as follows: “One difference between the pairwise results and the haplotype results occurred with marker P1325, for which the T allele was slightly overtransmitted in the “All individuals” pairwise runs but for which the C allele was contained in all three overtransmitted three-marker haplotypes.”
The authors regret these labeling errors, which had no effect on the statistical results or their interpretation. Corrected versions of table 2, table 3, and figure 1 are available by e-mail from Dr. Straub (straubr@intra.nimh.nih.gov). Finally, the NCBI dbSNP database has assigned rs#3213207 to SNP P1635.
