A Corrigendum on
A genome-wide investigation of effects of aberrant DNA methylation on the usage of alternative promoters in hepatocellular carcinoma.

by Dong Y, Liu X, Jiang B, Wei S, Xiang B, Liao R, Wang Q and He X (2022) Front. Oncol. 11:780266. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2021.780266

In the published article, there was an error in the legend for Supplementary Figures 6M, N. The sample correlation clustering was performed using “promoter activity” instead of “WGBS”. The correct material statement appears below.

(M) Heatmap shows the correlation of three pairs of promoter activity in GSE70091.

(N) Heatmap shows the better performance correlation of two pairs of promoter activity in GSE70091 after removing N3 and T3 pairs.

In the published article, there was a typographical error. The gene name “RABGAP1L” was mistakenly written as “RABGAPL1”.

A correction has been made to Results, The Methylation Regulated APs Could Be Used as Tumor Diagnostic Markers, Paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:

“The six mrAPs were clustered into four upregulated mrAPs (prmtr.53735 of TNFRSF10, prmtr.32651 of RGS3, prmtr.36049 of CCDC150, and prmtr.5237 of RASSF1) and two downregulated mrAPs (prmtr.37640 of TACC1 and prmtr.39585 of RABGAPL1) by promoter activities (Figure 4D, upper; Table 1; Table S5).”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“The six mrAPs were clustered into four upregulated mrAPs (prmtr.53735 of TNFRSF10, prmtr.32651 of RGS3, prmtr.36049 of CCDC150, and prmtr.5237 of RASSF1) and two downregulated mrAPs (prmtr.37640 of TACC1 and prmtr.39585 of RABGAP1L) by promoter activities (Figure 4D, upper; Table 1; Table S5).”

According to the guidelines of Ethics Statement, the authors replaced the previous statement “Written informed consent was obtained from the individual(s) for the publication of any potentially identifiable images or data included in this article” with the following statement.

“The studies involving humans were approved by the Ethics Committee of Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital. The studies were conducted in accordance with the local legislation and institutional requirements. The participants provided their written informed consent to participate in this study.”

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