A Corrigendum on
Assessing the Function of the ZFP90 Variant rs1170426 in SLE and the Association Between SLE Drug Target and Susceptibility Genes
By Zhu T, Huang Y, Qian D, Sheng Y, Zhang C, Chen S, Zhang H, Wang H, Zhang X, Liu J, Ding C and Liu L (2021). Front. Immunol. 12:611515. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.611515
In the original article, there were mistakes in Figures 1, 3, 4 as published. The number of CC genotype is not 10 but 2 in the legend of Figure 1A. The SNP ID is not rs2297550 but rs1170426 and the number of CT genotype is not 33 but 34 in the legend of Figure 1B. The number of CT genotype is not 33 but 34 in the label of Figure 1B. In Figure 3, the legends of Figures 3B, 3C were inverted. In Figure 4B, the label of arthritis is not FDR p = 0.004 but FDR p = 0.020 as shown in Table 3. The corrected Figures 1, 3, 4 appear below.
FIGURE 1
Figure 1 (A) The effect of rs1170426 on ZFP90 mRNA expression levels in PBMCs from healthy controls. Of the 126 controls, 2 individuals with CC, 38 with CT and 86 with TT were analyzed. The group with “CC” homozygous has the lowest expression levels (P = 0.006). (B) The effect of rs1170426 on ZFP90 mRNA expression levels in PBMCs from SLE cases. Of the 117 cases, 4 individuals with CC, 34 with CT and 79 with TT were analyzed. The expression did not significantly correlate with genotype of rs1170426 (P = 0.548). (C–F) The effect of rs1170426 on ZFP90 mRNA expression levels in CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, CD19+ B cells, and CD14+ monocytes from other 110 healthy controls. Of the 110 controls, 3 individuals with CC, 23 with CT and 84 with TT were analyzed. ZFP90 expression levels of samples with risk allele “C” of rs1170426 were significantly decreased in CD8+ T cells (P = 0.003).
FIGURE 3
Figure 3 (A)The epigenome annotation results of rs1170426 in T cells (green), B cells (red) and PBMCs (orange). The signal can be found in T cells and PBMCs, while not in B cells. (B) Compared the ZFP90 mRNA expression levels between SLE cases (n = 117, red) and healthy controls (n = 126, green) in PBMCs. The expression levels were lower in cases than in healthy controls (P =2.78E-9). (C) The ZFP90 mRNA expression levels in four kinds of immune cells were remarkably different (P = 2.001E-56) and were higher in T cells.
FIGURE 4
Figure 4 (A) The ZFP90 mRNA expression levels were lower (FDR p =0.004) in cases with serositis than those without. (B) The levels were lower (FDR p = 0.020) in cases with arthritis than those without. (C) The levels were lower (FDR p = 0.021) in cases with hematologic involvement than those without. (D) The levels were lower (FDR p = 0.005) in cases with increased CRP than those without.
