{ label (or @symbol) needed for fn[@id='tfn2-ol-0-0-12959'] } Seven functional annotation clusters with an enrichment score >1.3 are listed.

a Among each cluster, 5 annotation terms are listed from lower enrichment P-values with its accession no. and source database referred from DAVID (https://david.ncicrf.gov).

b A modified Fisher Exact P-value was generated from gene enrichment analysis.

c Each database is available at the following URLs: SMART, http://smart.embl-heidelberg.de; InterPro, https://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro; UniProt, https://www.uniprot.org; Gene Ontology, http://geneontology.org. vWF, von Willebrand factor; VWC, von Willebrand factor type C domain; VWFC, von Willebrand factor type C; EGF, epidermal growth factor; EGF_CA, Calcium-binding EGF-like domain; VWFD, von Willebrand factor type D.

Consequently, the correctly organized versions of Tables I and 3 are shown on the subsequent pages. Concerning the oversight with the Acknowledgements section, this section of the declarations should be changed to the following (added text is highlighted in bold):
