Missing Citation
In the original publication [1], **Betschart, R.O.; Riccio, C.; Aguilera-Garcia, D.; Blankenberg, S.; Guo, L.; Moch, H.; Seidl, D.; Solleder, H.; Thalén, F.; Thiéry, A.; et al. Biostatistical Aspects of Whole Genome Sequencing Studies: Preprocessing and Quality Control. Biom. J. 2024, 66, e202300278.** was not cited. The citation has now been inserted in **Materials and Methods, 2.1. Cohort, Paragraph 1** and **2.4. Pre-Processing, Quality Control, and Multi-Sample Calling of WGS Data, Paragraph 1** and should read:
**The clinical cohorts included subjects with myocardial infarction at a young age, among others; for details, see Betschart et al. [25]. In this study, only Lp(a) levels measured in 4861 individuals from the HCHS were used.**
**Pre-processing and quality control (QC) of WGS data were described elsewhere by Betschart et al. [25].**
**The first two estimated PCs were used to define a genetically similar European-like population; for details, see Betschart et al. [25].**
