Spearman' rho correlation analysis was performed in 124 patients for whom all the considered parameters were available.

r, correlation coefficient; P, p-values; GLT, standard glycerol lysis test; AGLT, acidified glycerol lysis test; EMA, eosin-5-maleimide. Highly significant correlations are reported in bold.
