A Correction on
Serum levels of per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances and methylation of DNA from peripheral blood

by Omichessan, H., Dragic, D., Perduca, V., Truong, T., Polidoro, S., Kvaskoff, M., Cano-Sancho, G., Antignac, J.-P., Baglietto, L., Mancini, F. R., and Severi, G. (2025). Front. Public Health. 13:1621495. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2025.1621495

In the published article, there was an error in [Figure 3] as published. [Only the two panels corresponding to PFOS (3B) were displayed, while those related to Figure PFOA (3A) were missing]. The corrected [Figure 3] and its caption [ORIGINAL Caption] appear below.

Figure 3
Four bar graphs depict KEGG pathway analyses for PFOA (left) and PFOS (right). The terms of the KEGG pathways are depicted on the y-axis. On the top figures, the x-axis is the -log10 FDR of the tests of the gene set enrichment in each pathway. On the bottom figures, the x-axis is the ratio between the number of differentially methylated genes and the number of genes in the KEGG term.

Figure 3. Bar charts for KEGG enrichment analysis of differentially methylated CpG sites associated with (A) PFOA and (B) PFOS at threshold unadjusted p-value < 0.01 in the epigenome-wide association analyses. Pathways were considered significant when the FDR < 0.05. The terms of the KEGG pathways are depicted on the y-axis. On the top figure, the x-axis is the –log10 FDR of the tests of the gene set enrichment in each pathway. On the bottom figure, the x-axis is the ratio between the number of differentially methylated genes and the number of genes in the KEGG term. The different colors represent the –log10 FDR.
