Following publication of the original article [1] the authors reported an error in Fig. 2. A technical error (reversing the definition of "1" and "0" for censored cases and deaths) when creating the Kaplan–Meier survival curve resulted in an incorrect curve. Furthermore, the original Fig. 2 was missing a numerical value on the vertical axis. The figure legend was correct and is unchanged.

Relationship between SNVs of PINK1 (c.1018G > A and c.1562A > C) and CRC prognosis with 5-FU-based adjuvant chemotherapy: overall survival with or without (a) c.1018G > A or (b) c.1562A > C. The analyzed specimens were 84 and 83 for (a) c.1018G > A and (b) c.1562A > C, respectively. In one case, the sample of (b) c.1018G > A was not analyzed because of an inappropriate specimen status. No statistically significant relationship was found between the two SNVs in PINK1 and overall survival. CRC: colorectal cancer

The incorrect version of Fig. 2 was:

figure a

The correct version of Fig. 2 is:

The original article has been updated.
