The presence of anaemia negatively influences survival in patients with POLG disease

ConclusionOur study reveals that anaemia can be a feature ofPOLG-related disease. Further, we show that its presence is associated with significantly worse prognosis either because anaemia itself is impacting survival or because it reflects the presence of more serious disease. In either case, our data suggests anaemia is a marker for negative prognosis.
