In the article beginning on page 2391 in the 19 May 2016 issue, there are errors in the text and in Tables 1 and 10.

In Table 1 (page 2392), the entry “Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm” was omitted. The corrected table is shown below.

On page 2393, in line 5 of the first paragraph in the right column, “t(8;9)(p22;q24.1);PCM1-JAK2” should read, “t(8;9)(p22;p24.1);PCM1-JAK2.”

In Table 10 (page 2397), column 2, in the information for PCM1-JAK2, “Often presents with T-LBL or B-ALL” should read “Rarely presents with T-LBL or B-ALL.” In column 3, in the information for PDGFRB, “t(5;12)(q31∼33;p12)” should read “t(5;12)(q32;p13.2).” In column 3, in the information for FGFR1, “Translocations of 8p11” should read “Translocations of 8p11.2.” The corrected table is shown below.
