In the initial published version of this article1, we missed some errors while proofreading the manuscript for the publication. The statistical values in Abstract and Results sections were inconsistent with those in Table 1. Upon careful examination of our original data, the second sentence in Abstract section should be “Here, we performed a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) with a total sample of 1478 homosexual males and 3313 heterosexual males in Han Chinese populations and identified two genetic loci (rs17320865, Xq27.3, FMR1NB, Pmeta = 7.61 × 10−9, OR = 1.31; rs7259428, 19q12, ZNF536, Pmeta = 8.20 × 10−15, OR = 0.65) showing consistent association with male sexual orientation.” On page 2, the second column, the lines 28–35 should be “All four SNPs showed consistent association in the independent validation samples, and two SNPs reached a genome-wide significance level (P < 5 × 10−8) after meta-analysis, including SNP rs7259428 on chromosome 19q12 (located in ZNF536, P = 8.20 × 10−15, OR = 0.65; Fig. 1e and Table 1) and rs17320865 on chromosome Xq27.3 (located in FMR1NB, P = 7.61 × 10−9, OR = 1.31; Fig. 1d and Table 1).” In Table 1, the gene symbol ‘ZNF356’ should be ‘ZNF536’. The corrected version of the Table 1 is displayed below.
