After publication of the original article [1], it came to the authors’ attention that a source of funding for the study presented had been inadvertently omitted. The Acknowledgements section should therefore have read as follows:

“This study was funded by the FIS (Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias—Health Research Fund, Grant No. PI13/00118, Instituto de Salud Carlos III), co-financed by the European Union through the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER, “Una manera de hacer Europa”), and by the Grupo de Excelencia Investigadora URJC-Banco Santander No. 30VCPIGI03: Investigación traslacional en el proceso de saludenfermedad (ITPSE).”
