Correction

An extract of the first 100% of the full text is provided, because this article has no abstract.

In the May 2000 issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, in the article by Meirhaeghe et al (Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2000:20:1330–1334.), there was an erroneous inversion regarding the allele designation. The allele frequencies are 0.6 for the G (wild-type) and 0.4 for the A allele and not the opposite as previously written. Therefore, in the text and tables, the readers should read "G" instead of "A" and conversely. It is the A allele that is associated with higher plasma triglyceride levels in women. The authors regret the inconvenience that this error has caused.
