GENETICS Correction for Chromosome 10q26driven age-related macular degeneration is associated with reduced levels of HTRA1 in human retinal pigment epithelium, by Brandi L. Williams, Nathan A. Seager, Jamie D. Gardiner, Chris M. Pappas, Monica C. Cronin, Cristina Amat di San Filippo, Robert A. Anstadt, Jin Liu, Marc A. Toso, Lisa Nichols, Timothy J. Parnell, Jacqueline R. Eve, Paul L. Bartel, Moussa A. Zouache, Burt T. Richards, and Gregory S. Hageman, which published July 22, 2021; 10.1073/pnas.2103617118 (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 118, e2103617118).

The authors note that Sven Heinz and Michael G. B. Hayes should be added to the author list between Jacquelin R. Eve and Paul L. Bartel. These two authors developed and trained the other coauthors in the techniques used to perform the epigenetic profiling of the chromatin upstream of the HTRA1 gene. The chromatin data were invaluable to the paper and could not have been performed without the training and assistance from Michael Hayes and Sven Heinz. Both Sven Heinz and Michael G. B. Hayes should be credited with Contributed new reagents/analytic tools to this research. The corrected author line, affiliation line, and author contributions appear below. The online version has been corrected.
