Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17718-z, published online 07 August 2020.
The original version of this article contained an error in the results, in the second paragraph of the subsection entitled “Fine-mapping for potentially causal variants among TSH loci”, in which effect sizes for two variants were incorrectly reported.
The original version incorrectly read ‘In the HUNT study, the missense variant TG p.G67S (rs116340633, MAF = 1.8%, effect size = 0.77 SD, 95% CI = 0.73–0.82 SD, P-value = 1.07 × 10−21) is in strong LD (r2 = 0.99) with the most strongly associated variant rs117074997 (intronic). At the other association signal, missense variant TG p.P118L (rs114322847, MAF = 2.4%, effect size = 0.84 SD, 95% CI = 0.82–0.87 SD, P-value = 1.87 × 10−26) is in strong LD (r2 = 0.92) with the most strongly associated variant rs118039499 (intronic) (Supplementary Table 2 and Supplementary Fig. 4)’.
The correct version replaces this sentence with ‘In the HUNT study, the missense variant TG p.G67S (rs116340633, MAF = 1.8%, effect size = −0.26 SD, 95% CI = −0.31 to −0.20 SD, P-value = 1.07 × 10−21) is in strong LD (r2 = 0.99) with the most strongly associated variant rs117074997 (intronic). At the other association signal, missense variant TG p.P118L (rs114322847, MAF = 2.4%, effect size = −0.17 SD, 95% CI = −0.20 to −0.14 SD, P-value = 1.87 × 10−26) is in strong LD (r2 = 0.92) with the most strongly associated variant rs118039499 (intronic) (Supplementary Table 2, Supplementary Figure 4)’.
This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
