Furthermore the original version of this Article contained errors in the author affiliations.

Peter Kraft was incorrectly associated with Department of Epidemiology, Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN 63110, USA.

Fan Liu was incorrectly associated with Department of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston 02115 MA, USA.

M. Arfan Ikram was incorrectly associated with Department of Genetic Identification, Erasmus MC, University Medical Centre, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Pamela A. Madden, Andrew C. Heath and Elliot C. Nelson were incorrectly associated with Department of Internal Medicine, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Adele C. Green was incorrectly associated with Department of Psychiatry, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110, USA.

Stephen Chanock was incorrectly associated with Molecular Oncology Group, CRUK Manchester Institute, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK

Richard A. Sturm was incorrectly associated with Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, USA.

Manfred Kayser was incorrectly associated with Department of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston 02115 MA, USA.

David J. Hunter was incorrectly associated with Department of Epidemiology, Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center, Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN 63110, USA

Jiali Han was incorrectly associated with Dermatology Research Centre, University of Queensland Diamantina Institute, Translational Research Institute, Brisbane, Australia

The affiliation of André G. Uitterlinden with Department of Internal Medicine, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands was inadvertently omitted.

Affiliation 5 incorrectly read ‘Department of Dermatology, Erasmus MC, University Medical Centre, Rotterdam, The Netherlands’ and Affiliation 10 incorrectly read ‘Department of Genetic Identification, Erasmus MC, University Medical Centre, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.’

This has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
