Since the publication of the above paper, the authors have identified the following errors in the paper:

‘We found no evidence for additional independent risk variants in this region (not shown), consistent with Moffatt et al’, should instead read: ‘We found evidence for additional independent risk variants in this region (not shown), consistent with Moffatt et al’, and in the conclusion, ‘ORMDL1’ should read ‘ORMDL3’.

The authors wish to apologise for these errors.
