Correction to: Communications Biology https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-019-0647-4, published online 31 October 2019.
In the original version of this Article, the trait “Histamine hypersensitivity” was incorrectly abbreviated as Hhs with corresponding gene symbol Hhs throughout the abstract, main text, Methods, and figure and table captions. The trait and locus designations were updated by the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) database as Histh and Histh, respectively, prior to acceptance of the article but corrections were not carried out.
In addition, the following minor errors were identified:
The caption to Table 2 incorrectly stated the amount of histamine injected as 1.0 mg. The correct dose was 50 mg/kg histamine.
The following genetic cross was omitted from the Methods section “Animals”: (B10.S × SJL/J) × B10.S.
The Methods section “Linkage analysis and generation of Hhs congenic mice” originally read: “Segregation of genotype frequency differences with susceptibility and resistance to Hhs in (B10.S × SJL/J) × B10.S were tested by Chi-square (Χ²) analysis in 2 × 2 contingency tables. B10.S-HhsSJL congenic mice were derived by marker-assisted selection of SJL/J derived alleles and successive backcrossing to B10.S mice.”
The correct text should read: “Segregation of genotype frequency differences with susceptibility and resistance to Histh in (B10.S × SJL) F2 and (B10.S × SJL/J) × B10.S were tested by Chi-square (Χ²) analysis in 3 × 2 and 2 × 2 contingency tables, respectively. B10.S-HisthSJL congenic mice were derived by marker-assisted selection of SJL/J derived alleles and successive backcrossing to B10.S mice.”
The caption to Supplementary Data 1 table “Fixed” stated that 1.0 mg of histamine-free base was injected by i.v. in the experimental mice. The correct injection dose is 50 mg/kg.
The errors have now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article and in the Supplementary Data 1 file.
