The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:

In the original article, there were mistakes in Figure 3A, Figure 5B and Table 1 as published.

Firstly, the authors wrote incorrect units on the Y axis in Figure 3A. This was due to a mistake in the figure editing.

Thus, the original Figure 3A listed below:

graphic file with name cancers-13-00478-i001.jpg

should be replaced with the following version:

graphic file with name cancers-13-00478-i002.jpg

Secondly, the authors wrote p-value incorrectly in Figure 5B. This was also due to a mistake in the figure editing. Additionally, we would like to add the corresponding indication (“Table 2”) in result Section 3.4 and to replace the corresponding indication (“Figures 5B” to “Figure 5”) in discussion section to help our readers understand better.

The following sentence in result Section 3.4:

“In addition, in the data of patients extended to lower grade glioma, a higher number of non-coding RNAs in the ceRNA network showed a difference in OS rate according to the expression level.”

should be replaced with:

“In addition, in the data of patients extended to lower grade glioma, a higher number of non-coding RNAs in the ceRNA network showed a difference in OS rate according to the expression level (Table 2).”

The following sentence in the discussion section:

“Characteristically, the difference in survival rate among patients according to actual 1p/19q codeletion subtypes in the OD data of TCGA was not statistically significantly separated, but a difference of survival rate in the group as per the expression level of ceRNA was divided (Figure 5B).”

should be replaced with:

“Characteristically, the difference in survival rate among patients according to actual 1p/19q codeletion subtypes in the OD data of TCGA was not statistically significantly separated, but a difference of survival rate in the group as per the expression level of ceRNA was divided (Figure 5).”

Furthermore, the original Figure 5 listed below:

graphic file with name cancers-13-00478-i003.jpg

should be replaced with the following version:

graphic file with name cancers-13-00478-i004.jpg

Finally, there was an alignment error in the results in Table 1, which was corrected. The values in Table 1 were misaligned; however, every network listed in Table 1 is the result of passing the threshold of the adjusted rand index (ARI), and since the correct information was already included in Table S1, the misaligned results do not affect our research results.

The original version of Table 1 is:

Table 1.
