In Table 3 of the above-listed article, the authors would like to make the following corrections:

• The title of the table should be "Allele frequencies of CAPN10 SNPs in Finland."

• For SNP-19, the insertion allele is allele 2 [i.e., "2 (ins)"] and the deletion allele is allele 1 [i.e., "1 (del)"], as indicated in the text.

• Correspondingly, the part of the legend concerning SNP-19 should read as follows: "SNP-19 allele 1 was more common among control subjects from Botnia II compared with control subjects from Botnia I (47.2 vs. 38.5%; P = 0.041)."

In rows 13 and 19 in Table 2 of the above article, the indexes are incorrectly printed. Despite the errors in the printed formulae, all analyses presented in the article were conducted using the correct formulae, which are listed below.

where I₀ = fasting insulin (μU/ml), mI₀ = mean fasting insulin (μU/ml), G₀ = fasting glucose (mg/dl), and mG₀ = mean fasting glucose (mg/dl).

Row 19 ("Gutt ISI₀, ₁₂₀"): where m = [75,000 + (G₀ − G₂) × 10 × 0.19 × W]/120; MPG = [(G₀ + G₂)/18]/2; G₂ = 2-h glucose (mg/dl); W = body weight (kg); log₁₀ = logarithm, base 10; MSI = (I₀ + I₂)/2; and I₂ = 2-h insulin (μ U/ml).

The authors regret these errors and any confusion they may have caused.

In the reference list of above-cited article, references 10–54 were incorrectly numbered as references 11–55. The corrected list is posted online at http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/vol52/issue3/.
