Correction: Investigation of Susceptibility Genes Triggering Lachrymal/Salivary Gland Lesion Complications in Japanese Patients with Type 1 Autoimmune Pancreatitis.

There are errors in the ninth, tenth and eleventh sentences of the Abstract. The correct sentences are: Individual genotyping of KLF7 rs2284932 revealed that the frequency of the minor C allele was significantly increased (P = 0.00062, Pc = 0.003, OR = 2.98, 95%CI = 1.58–5.65) in group A. The minor T allele of rs4473559 in FRMD4 demonstrated a significant association in the A group (P = 0.00015, OR = 3.38, 95%CI = 1.77–6.45). In the LOC101928923 gene, the frequency of the minor T allele of rs4379306 was significantly decreased in group A in both TaqMan and GWAS analyses. Lastly, the minor C allele of MPPED2 rs514644 carried a significantly increased risk of complications.

There is an error in the third sentence of the Genetic Analysis section of the Results. The correct sentence is: The results for strong signals (P<0.0001) are shown in Table 1. There are also errors in the penultimate sentence of this section. The correct sentence is: In the LOC101928923 gene, the frequency of the minor T allele of rs4379306 was significantly decreased (P = 0.011, OR = 0.43) in both TaqMan and GWAS analyses in the A group (Table 5).

There is an error in Table 3. The P value for rs2284932 should be CC+TC/TT. Please see the corrected Table 3 here.
