Editor's Note

Feigelson and colleagues recently discovered an error in their database that affected a single cohort (The Women's Health Study) and accounted for approximately 13% of the data in the published article. They have now corrected the error and completely re-analyzed the data. They are reassured that the corrected analysis minimally changes their effect estimates and does not alter their conclusions. Table 1 shows the corrected data for the association between HSD17B1 and invasive breast cancer among U.S. Caucasian women by estrogen receptor status.
