Correction to: Analysis of CF patient survival confirms STAT3 as a CF-modifying gene with changing impact over time

PMCID: PMC9896458  PMID: 36571178

This is a correction to: Inga Dunsche, Ellen L Raddatz, Haide Ismer, Silke Hedtfeld, Stephanie Tamm, Saskia Moser, Julia Kontsendorn, Burkhard Tümmler, Sabina Janciauskiene, Anna-Maria Dittrich, Frauke Stanke, Analysis of CF patient survival confirms STAT3 as a CF-modifying gene with changing impact over time, Human Molecular Genetics, 2022, ddac221, https://doi.org/10.1093/hmg/ddac221

In the originally published version of this manuscript, Table 1 had two columns incorrectly transposed. The information under “Patients' genotype at STAT3: both STAT3Sat alleles =16 ARU” “No of patients, n (%)”, should be swapped with that under “Patients' genotype at STAT3: both STAT3Sat alleles =12 ARU” “No of patients, n (%)”.

This error has been corrected online.

Table 1.

Patient survival by STAT3Sat genotype

Year of birth No of patients Patients’ genotype at STAT3: both STAT3Sat alleles ≥16 ARU Patients genotype at STAT3: both STAT3Sat alleles ≤12 ARU Patient is heterozygous at STAT3Sat P
No of patients, n (%) Median survival No of patients, n (%) Median survival No of patients, n (%) Median survival
1959–1994 165a 15 (8.6%) n.d. 66 (37.9%) n.d. 84 (48.3%) n.d. n.d.
1959–1976 78 7 (8.8%) 30 years 26 (32.5%) ≈50 years 45 (56.3%) 35 years 0.023
1972–1983 75 9 (11.3%) 42 years 27 (33.8%) 36 years 39 (48.8%) 35 years 0.406
1977–1994 75 7 (8.8%) 36 years 35 (43.8%) 32 years 33 (41.3%) 37 years 0.913

aOut of 174 p.Phe508del-CFTR homozygotes, the STAT3Sat genotype could not be resolved for eight patients. One patient carried SAT3Sat-14 on both chromosomes and thus could not be classified in either group ‘carries at least one allele STAT3Sat-16 or more ARU’ or ‘both alleles STAT3Sat-12 or less ARU’.
