Erratum to: Cancer Causes Control (2016) 27:809–815 DOI 10.1007/s10552-016-0749-y

We have wrongly stated that the SNP rs7205422 was analyzed instead of the EVER SNP rs7208422 in two places in this publication, namely the abstract and in the “Results” section (para SNP analysis, 2nd line). Otherwise, rs7208422 has been correctly used throughout the paper.

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.
