Change From Baseline at Week 26 in Skin Globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) Score in Superficial Skin Capillary Endothelium: Number of Participants in Categories of Shift in GL-3 Score From Baseline to Week 26
Baseline, Week 26

Skin biopsies taken at Baseline and Week 26 were analyzed for cellular GL-3 accumulation (inclusions) by light microscopy. Three independent pathologists evaluated each biopsy using an inclusion severity score of 0 (none/trace), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition. A single score per participant per time point was derived by taking the score rated by a majority of the pathologists; if a majority score could not be derived, the median score was used. Data were summarized and reported in terms of number of participants with shift from Baseline GL-3 score to Week 26 GL-3 score. Any shift category of Baseline score/Week 26 score that was not observed is not reported. Shift to lower score from Baseline to Week 26 indicates less severe condition at Week 26.

Mean Change From Baseline at Week 26 in Skin GL-3 Score in Superficial Skin Capillary Endothelium
Baseline, Week 26

Skin biopsies taken at Baseline and Week 26 were analyzed for cellular GL-3 accumulation (inclusions) by light microscopy. Three independent pathologists evaluated each biopsy using an inclusion severity score of 0 (none/trace), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition. A single score per participant per time point was derived by taking the score rated by a majority of the pathologists; if a majority score could not be derived, the median score was used. Change from Baseline in GL-3 score was obtained by subtracting Baseline value from post-baseline value at Week 26. A negative change from Baseline indicates less severe condition at Week 26.
