In the article entitled, “The Clinical Implications of Inconsistently Methylated Results from Glioblastoma MGMT Testing by Replicate Methylation-Specific PCR” (Volume 18, pages 864–871 of the November 2016 issue of The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics; http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmoldx.2016.06.009), the authors infor med the editorial office of the following errors; on page 865, author N.L. is noted as the corresponding author and should be noted as the senior author. On page 867, “iii) year of diagnosis, age, and MGMT methylation status” should have been deleted from the following paragraph: “On limited m ultivariate analyses, i) MGMT promoter methylation status, ii) age at diagnosis, and iii) year of diagnosis, age, and MGMT methylation status were independently correlated with OS (Supplemental Table S2).” Per the authors, “While there was a trend for year of diagnosis toward correlation with ov erall survival in univariate analysis (HR 0.91, 95% CI = 0.83 to 1.01, P = 0.08), this did not hold up in multivariate analysis (HR 0.96, 95% CI = 0.87 to 1.06, P = 0.44).”
