The number of differentially methylated sites (DMS) found to display directionally consistent differences in methylation in the cohorts studied by both Nilsson et al [10] and Arner et al was incorrectly reported to be 592, not 591. The sentence concerned should read: ‘Nilsson et al reported, in a cohort of 56 individuals, 15,627 DMS (q < 0.15) in WAT associated with type 2 diabetes [10]; 671 of the DMS overlapped with those in the present study, of which 591 displayed directionally consistent differences in methylation in both cohorts (p < 2.7 × 10−87) (ESM Table 4) [10].’
The second footnote to ESM Table 4 incorrectly referred to transcriptome profiles not methylome profiles. It should have read:
‘b. comparison with published methylome profiles on SAT; see references in main manuscript for details.’
