A Corrigendum on
Apolipoprotein E Genetic Variation and its Association With Cognitive Function in Rural-Dwelling Older South Africans

by Soo, C. C., Farrell, M. T., Tollman, S., Berkman, L., Nebel, A., and Ramsay, M. (2021). Front. Genet. 12:689756. doi: 10.3389/fgene.2021.689756

In the original article, there was a mistake in the legend for Table 4 as published. There was a typo in the legend: “Standardised coefficients represent estimated changes in cognitive function. Domain estimates (executive function, language, memory, visuospatial cognition) change in standard deviation units. Adjusted R-squared values per model with residual standard error (SE) is shown. *p < 0.5, **p < 0.00001, ***p < 2e-16.” The correct legend is “Standardised coefficients represent estimated changes in cognitive function. Domain estimates (executive function, language, memory, visuospatial cognition) change in standard deviation units. Adjusted R-squared values per model with residual standard error (SE) is shown. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.00001, ***p < 2e-16.”

In the original article, there was a mistake in the legend for Supplementary Table S1 as published. There was a typo in the legend: “Standardised coefficients represent estimated changes in cognitive function. Domain estimates (executive function, language, memory, visuospatial cognition) change in standard deviation units. Adjusted R-squared values per model with residual standard error (SE) is shown. *p < 0.5, **p < 0.00001, ***p < 2e-16.” The correct legend is “Standardised coefficients represent estimated changes in cognitive function.

Adjusted R-squared values per model with residual standard error (SE) is shown. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.00001, ***p < 2e-16.”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
