This Article contains errors.

In Table 1, the number of Female ‘186’ and Male ‘764’ patients enrolled in this study is incorrectly given as ‘950’ and ‘755’ respectively.

In the Results section,

“The case group comprised 186 women and 764 men, and the average age of the BD patients was 33.0031 ± 8.4 years.”

should read:

“The case group comprised 186 women and 764 men, and the average age of the BD patients was 33.1 ± 8.4 years.”

In the Results section under subheading ‘Genotype Results’,

“In first stage study, the frequency of the CIITA//rs12932187 C allele (Pc = 1.668 × 10−2, OR = 0.713, 95% CI = 0.591–0.861) and NOD1//rs2075818 G allele (Pc = 4.694E-02, OR = 0.698, 95% CI = 0.562–0.868) were decreased in BD patients compared to controls (Table 2).”

“In NOD1//rs2075818, the frequencies of the GG genotype and G allele were also decreased in the BD patients (Pc = 1.022E-02, OR = 0.536, 95% CI = 0.386–0.745; Pc = 6.811 × 10−5, OR = 0.720, 95% CI = 0.629–0.824, respectively).”

should read:

“In NOD1//rs2075818, the frequencies of the GG genotype and G allele were also decreased in the BD patients (Pc = 1.022 × 10−2, OR = 0.536, 95% CI = 0.386–0.745; Pc = 6.811 × 10−5, OR = 0.720, 95% CI = 0.629–0.824, respectively).”

In Table 3, the Restriction enzyme ‘PvuII’ for gene NOD1 ‘rs2907748’ is incorrectly given as ‘PvuIII’.
