Erratum: associations of markers in 11 obesity candidate genes with maximal weight loss and weight regain in the sos bariatric surgery cases

CORRECTION TO: _International Journal of Obesity_ (2011) 35, 676–683; doi:10.1038/ijo.2010.166 Sarzynski _et al._1 reported the association of obesity candidate genes with weight loss and

regain after bariatric surgery in the May 2011 issue of _Int J Obesity_. Unfortunately, 30 subjects were affected by errors that occurred during plating of DNA samples. We have re-analyzed

the data after excluding the aforementioned subjects. Overall, our findings and interpretation remain unchanged. In the re-analysis, after taking into account the multiple testing corrected

threshold for significance of _P_<0.00033, the only statistically significant association with maximal weight loss was still found at _FTO_ SNP rs16945088, and the _P_-value for this

association did not change from the original report (_P_=0.0002). Furthermore, in the re-analysis none of the SNPs were significantly associated with weight regain after taking into account

multiple testing, which is the same finding as the original report. Thus, our overall interpretation of the results does not change even after excluding the 30 subjects from the analyses.
