This Article contains a typographical error in the Results section, under the sub-heading ‘Nasal airway X-chromosome DNA methylation of immune genes’.

“To accomplish this we constructed a list of X-linked immune genes (Supplementary Table 4) compiling information from two large Gene Ontology databases: PANTHER (Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships; http://www.pantherdb.org/)23 and IRIS (Immunogenetic Related Information Source)24.”
