As shown in Table 5, some polymorphisms demonstrated a considerable difference in MAF among the participating cohorts; for 27 of the 108 polymorphisms, including ABCC11 Arg180Gly (T/C), there was a highly significant difference in MAF among study areas ( P < 0.001).” Furthermore, the first sentence of the third paragraph of the Discussion should read: “Of the remaining 104 polymorphisms, 15 showed departures from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, with P values less than 0.05.” The authors regret these errors.
