A corrigendum on
Genetic predisposition between COVID-19 and four mental illnesses: A bidirectional, two-sample Mendelian randomization study
by Liu, N., Tan, J.-S., Liu, L., Wang, Y., Hua, L., and Qian, Q. (2021). Front. Psychiatry 12:746276. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2021.746276
In the published article, there was a statistical error. The sample sizes was described as “We drew on summary statistics for critically ill COVID-19 cases and hospitalized COVID-19 cases from release five (https://www.covid19hg.org/results/r5/) of the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative Genome-Wide Association Study, which contained 5,101 critically ill COVID-19 cases and 1,383,241 controls (leave out study: 23andMe) and 9,986 hospitalized COVID-19 cases and 1,877,672 controls (leave out study: 23andMe) (Table 1).”
TABLE 1
Table 1. Psychiatry diseases and COVID-19 genetic summary data sources.
A correction has been made to Methods, “COVID-19,” Paragraph 1.
The corrected sentence appears below:
“We drew on summary statistics for critically ill COVID-19 cases and hospitalized COVID-19 cases from release five (https://www.covid19hg.org/results/r5/) of the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative Genome-Wide Association Study, which contained 4,606 critically ill COVID-19 cases and 702,801 controls (leave out study: 23andMe) and 9,373 hospitalized COVID-19 cases and 1,197,256 controls (leave out study: 23andMe) (Table 1).”
In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. The sample size of critically ill COVID-19 and hospitalized COVID-19 was incorrect. The corrected Table 1 and its caption appear below.
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
