Supplemental Figure 1. Pedigree of the family.
The female patinet (Patient 3) is indicated by arrow.
Supplemental Figure 2. cDNA sequence analysis of XIAP gene in the family.
cDNA sequence was detected by antisense analysis. Upper panel indicates wild type, and the second, third and forthpanels indicate Patients 1, 2 and 3, and lower panel indicates their mother. The arrow indicates the mutation site (insertion C).
Supplemental Figure 3. XIAP expression in lymphocytes from the patients and normal control by westernblot.
XIAP expression was detected from PBMC ofthe patientsand normal controlusing the clone 48 antibody (upper panel), the clone 2F1 antibody (middle panel) and the -actin antibody as the internal control (lower panel). Patients 1,2 and 3 showed deficient expression of XIAP protein.
Supplemental Figure 4. XCI pattern in PBMCs from the father, mother and Patient 3.
DNA was extracted from PBMCs of the father mother and P7atient 3 and amplified by PCR with specific primer that flank the exon 1 of the androgen receptor. In addition, the DNA was digested with the methylation-sensitive enzyme HpaIIenzyme (New EnglandBiolabs, Beverly, MA) before PCR amplification. The samples were analyzed on SDS polyacrylamidegel(PAGEL AE-6000; ATTO, Tokyo, Japan) andstained with SYBR-Gold (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Minus (-) and plus (+) mean no digestion and digestion by HpaII enzyme.
Supplemental Figure 5. X-chromosome inactivation pattern in hair root cells from the mother and Patient 3.
Patient 3 showed anextremely skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) pattern with 100:0, in which the maternally inherited mutated X-chromosome is exclusively activated and the paternally inherited normal X-chromosome is exclusively inactivated, whereas the mother showed a random XCI pattern with 59:41 in hair root cell.
Supplemental Figure 6.AICD analysis of the family members and 6 normal controls.
The PBMC were stimulated phytohemagglutinin and rIL-2. After 7 dyas of culture, activation-induced cell death (AICD) assays were performed, and percentages of apoptotic cells were evaluted usingpropidium iodide-negative and Annexin-V-positive staining by flow cytometry.
