Author Correction: GWAS for male-pattern baldness identifies 71 susceptibility loci explaining 38% of the risk

We have been alerted that in our recent Article the calculations used to transform the heritability from the observed scale to the liability scale did not take into account the individuals in category 2 of the baldness scale, who were removed in our original analysis. This led to an overestimation o...
