1

Number of patients reflects only those patients in the studies that had CLL simple progression and next generation sequencing of the BTK and PLCG2 loci.

2

Only patients that had detectable BTK and/or PLCG2 mutations are included in the percentage calculations.

3

Eleven patients in the Maddocks cohort are also in the Woyach cohort. These eleven patients have been removed from the statistics reported for the Woyach cohort to avoid double counting.

4

One subject with BTK and PLCG2 mutations did not have VAF testing; the denominator for VAF of the various frequencies is seven patients.

5

Cancer cell fraction, and not variant allele frequency, was reported.
