The authors would like to apologise for three mistakes that were in the originally published version of this article.

The mistakes are as follows:

1\. Page 2, line 5: The statistics value of rs6259 and rs727428 were reversed.

Mistake: rs6259 and rs727428 were not (β~STD~ = 0.082, *P* = 0.017; β~STD~ = 0.17, *P* = 0.071, respectively),

Correctly: rs6259 and rs727428 were not (β~STD~ = 0.17, *P* = 0.071; β~STD~ = 0.082, *P* = 0.017, respectively),

2\. Page 3, right paragraph line 15: The fragment size was mistake.

Mistake: 275 bp (A-allele)

Correct: 274 bp (A-allele)

3\. Table II: Three β~STD~ were incorrect.
