1

All patients in ERT + TLD-MTX group and 35/37 patients in ERT monotherapy group seroconverted.

2

One patient had peak titers of 12,800 twice (Week 5 and Week 12) on ERT but maintained low titers throughout, so was included in LT group.

3

Patients who tested seropositive but had titers <100 were deemed to have a titer of 50.
