In the article “Low-frequency and common genetic variation in ischemic stroke: The METASTROKE collaboration” by R. Malik et al.,1 there was an omission under Study Funding. The sentence after “Control data were obtained through the database of genotypes and phenotypes (dbGAP) maintained and supported by the United States National Center for Biotechnology Information, US National Library of Medicine” should read: “Control data for comparison with VISP stroke cases were from the dbGaP study High Density SNP Association Analysis of Melanoma: Case-Control and Outcomes Investigation (phs000187.v1.p1; R01CA100264, 3P50CA093459, 5P50CA097007, 5R01ES011740, 5R01CA133996, HHSN268200782096C; PIs Christopher Amos, Qingyi Wei, Jeffrey E. Lee).” The authors regret the omission.
