[Excerpt] In this Article, members of the UCSF cohort who had been alive for longer than two years were inadvertently included in the data presented in Table 3. USCF/old treatments should have 109 patients with a hazard ratio of 3.35 and a P value of 0.00028 instead of the 124 patients with a hazard ratio of 3.37 and a P value of 0.00026. The USCF/new patients should have 187 patients with a hazard ratio of 3.5...
Here we perform the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of multiple myeloma (MM) survival. In a meta-analysis of 306 MM patients treated at UCSF and 239 patients treated at the Mayo clinic, we find a significant association between SNPs near the gene FOPNL on chromosome 16p13 and survival (rs72773978; P=6 × 10(-10)). Patients with the minor allele are at increased risk for mortality (HR: 2.65; 95% CI: 1....
