  1. Western blot analysis of FUT8, POFUT1 and POFUT2. Expression of the proteins was analysed by western blotting on a 10% SDS–PAGE with cytosolic fractions derived from control and patient fibroblasts. Data were obtained from fibroblasts; n = 3, for statistics an unpaired t‐test was performed.
  2. qPCR studies on FUT8, POFUT1 and POFUT2. mRNA expression revealed a significantly increased transcript level of FUT8 (2.79 fold change; ± 1,10 fold change; *P = 0.0498) normalized to a control. Expression of POFUT1 and POFUT2 was not changed significantly. Data were obtained from fibroblasts; n = 9; experiment was independently repeated three times, for statistics an ANOVA was performed.
  3. Expression of ADAMTS13 in sera. The amount of ADAMTS13 secreted into sera of controls and the patient before and after 8 weeks of L‐fucose treatment was detected by western blot and normalized to transferrin. Data were obtained from serum; n = 12 for controls.

Data information: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. Bars and error bars represent mean ± SD. Exact P‐values are reported in the results part.
