The main analysis in the final paper involved a genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistic dataset for venous thromboembolism. This GWAS was conducted by the International Network of Venous Thromboembolism Clinical Research Networks (INVENT) consortium. In addition, Dr Sara Lindström was instrumental in this GWAS and sharing the data. We are therefore formally correcting the eLife paper to include both Dr Lindström and the INVENT consortium on this paper. Both have reviewed the manuscript and support the conclusions, and agree to be responsible for all parts of the paper in its published form.
The details of Dr Lindström’s and the INVENT consortium’s contributions are given below:
