Article
After the publication of the article, the authors noted that they had made some errors regarding certain data in their manuscript.
Page 1761: ‘The genetic frequency of rs7512998 was significantly different between the gout and control patients (P<0.05), whereas no significant differences were identified for the remaining SNPs.’ was replaced with ‘No significant differences were identified for the 17 SNPs.’
Page 1762: ‘>420 mmol/l’ and ‘>350 mmol/l’ was replaced with ‘>420 µmol/l’ and ‘>350 µmol/l’. ‘r2, ≥0.08’ was replaced with ‘r2, ≥0.8’.
Table II: The P-value of SNP rs7512998 was changed from ‘<0.05’ to ‘0.43’, and the P‑value for the HWE in controls for SNP rs3806268 was changed from ‘0.96’ to ‘0.76’.
Page 1764-1765: ‘The genetic frequency of rs7512998 was significantly different between the gout and control patients (P<0.05; Table II), whereas no significant differences were observed for the remaining SNPs.’ was replaced with ‘No significant difference was found for 17 SNPs.’
Page 1765: The following sentence was completely removed: ‘To investigate the haplotype association among the 17 SNPs of the NLRP3 gene, the r2 measure of LD was estimated and demonstrated that only one polymorphism, rs7525979, had a high LD (r2>0.9; Figs. 1 and 2).’
Page 1765: ‘(Table III)’ was replaced with ‘(Table III, Figs. 1 and 2)’.
