Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13848-1, published online 20 December 2019.

In the original version of this article, the affiliations of author Joanna Howson were incorrectly given as “British Heart Foundation Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit, Department of Public Health and Primary Care, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK and Health Data Research UK Cambridge, Wellcome Genome Campus and University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK”. The correct affiliations are “British Heart Foundation Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit, Department of Public Health and Primary Care, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK and National Institute for Health Research Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre, University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals, Cambridge, UK”.

In addition, the original version of this Article omitted the following from the Competing Interests statement: Dr Howson became a full time employee of Novo Nordisk while the manuscript was under review at Nature Communications.

These have been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of this article.
