The first sentence of the sub-section “DBH secretion into plasma” of the Results is incorrect. The correct sentence is: Across biogeographic ancestries (white versus black), we found that DBH plasma activity substantially decreased with increasing copy number (0,1,2 per genome) for haplotype-2 (C→T), with a directionally opposite effect for haplotype-3 (T→C) (Figures 3b, 3c).
The last two sentences of the third paragraph of the “DBH functional genetic variation and renal function” sub-section of the Discussion should be deleted.
There are a number of errors in Figure 3. Please see the corrected Figure 3 here.
a. DBH promoter haplotype expression in the nucleus: Transcription in luciferase reporter plasmids transfected into chromaffin (PC12) cells. Each promoter transfection was done in 8 replicates. b. DBH promoter haplotypes in vivo: Effects on plasma DBH activity. Two functional promoter SNPs constituting a haplotype are shown in subjects of European ancestry, African American and the overall population. Haplotype-2 (C→T) is significantly associated with DBH activity in subjects from European ancestry as well as the overall study population. c. Haplotype-3 (T→C) is significantly associated with DBH activity in all groups. d. Common promoter variants C-2073T and C-970T analyzed individually for effects on DBH secretion in vivo. Plasma DBH activity shows significant association with each of the common variants, both C-2073T and C-970T. To attain specificity, C-2073T or C-970T (as appropriate) were included as covariates, along with age and sex.
