Consistency with previous study

You report that the association you found goes in the opposite direction to what we reported (Campa et al., 2004, ref. # 18 in your paper).

As a matter of fact, after publishing our paper we realized that we had inverted the labels of the alleles by mistake. Thus, the association you find and the association we found go in the same direction.

You may want to make reference to the Erratum we published in Carcinogenesis, 26(6):1157, 2005.
