A corrigendum on
Meta-analysis of the association between toll-like receptor gene polymorphisms and hepatitis C virus infection

by Du, Y., Li, S., Wang, X., Liu, J., Gao, Y., Lv, W., Liu, P., Huang, H., Luan, J., and Zhang, L. (2023). Front. Microbiol. 14:1254805. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1254805

In the published article, there was an error in Table 1. We mistakenly labeled the reference by Sizova et al. (2016) as Russia. It should be corrected to Ukraine. The corrected Table 1 and its caption appear below.

TABLE 1
www.frontiersin.org

Table 1. Characteristics of studies involved in the meta-analysis.

In the published article, there was an error. The selected studies used for our meta-analysis contain populations from seven countries, instead of six countries.

A correction has been made to Results, Study characteristics and quality assessment results, Paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:

“The selected studies contain populations from six countries, covering many regions, such as Africa, Europe, and Asia.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“The selected studies contain populations from seven countries, covering many regions, such as Africa, Europe, and Asia.”

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.
