The purpose of this note is to correct both the analysis and typographical errors.

The typos are as follows.
  • The abstract, line 6: In “in 6 patients (8%)” should read “in 5 patients (6%)”.

  • Page 4, line 12: In “8% (6) of the samples, being 5 missens” should read “6% (5) of the samples, being 4 missense”.

  • Page 4, line 19: In “Of the 6 cases” should read “Of the 5 cases”.

  • Page 4, line 20: In “(5, or 83.3%)” should read “(4, or 80%)”.

  • Page 4, second column, line 8: In “OS for patients with wild DNMT3A gene was 41.4% and for patients with mutated DNMT3A was 44.4% (P = 0.59)” should read “OS for patients with wild DNMT3A gene was 45.7% and for patients with mutated DNMT3A was 60.0% (P = 0.47)”.

  • Page 6, line 4: In “found in 8%” should read “found in 6%”.

  • Page 6, second column, line 13: In “3 of 6 mutations” should read “3 of 5 mutations”.

  • Page 6, second column, line 16: In “Five, or 80%,” should read “Four, or 80%,”.

  • Page 6, second column, line 18: In “(P = 0.28)” should read “(P = 0.34)”.

  • Page 6, second column, line 20: In “(20.7 × 109/L)” should read “(15.6 × 109/L)”.

  • Table 4, column 2, line 6: In “H896*” should read “P896*”.

  • Table 4: Entire line 7 was excluded.

  • Table 5, line 2: In “40.2, 44.8 and 0.56” should read “47.4, 40.4 and 0.42”.

  • Table 5, line 4: In “50% (3), 59.3% (45) and 0.68” should read “60% (3), 57.9% (44) and 0.92”.

  • Table 5, line 5: In “50% (3), 40.7% (31)” should read “40% (2), 42.1% (32)”.

  • Table 5, line 19: In “50% (3), 51.4% (37) and 1.000” should read “40% (2), 52.7% (39) and 0.66”.

  • Table 5, line 20: In “50% (2), 30.9% (17) and 0.58” should read “40% (2), 29.2% (21) and 0.63”.

  • We changed Figure 3 as shown above.
