[Corrigendum] Polymorphisms in the NLRP3 gene and risk of primary gouty arthritis

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)’.
