Clinical domains including bone disease, hematologic parameters and visceral involvement (adapted from Gaucher disease severity scoring instrument (DS3) were scored for each patient. A relative disease activity score was assigned as mild (+), moderate (++) and severe (+++) according to the numerical composite score for each domain. Note that (+) denotes the presence of pulmonary involvement.
