(A) Representative long-axis MRI images of the proband and a control matched family member at end systole and end diastole demonstrating asymmetric hypertrophy of the inferior wall. See also .
(B) Confirmation of the Arg663His missense mutation on exon 18 of the MYH7 gene in HCM patients (II-1, III-1, III-2, III-3, and III-8) by PCR and sequence analysis.
(C)Schematic pedigree of the proband carrying the Arg663His mutation in MYH7 recruited for this study (II-1) as well as her husband (II-2) and eight children (III-1 through III-8). Circles represent female family members and squares represent males. Solid symbols indicate clinical presentation of the HCM phenotype, whereas open symbols represent absence of presentation. “+” and “−” signs underneath family members indicate presence and absence of the Arg663His mutation, respectively. Two individuals (III-3 and III-8) were found to carry the Arg663His mutation but had yet to present the HCM phenotype due to young age. See also .
(D) Brightfield and immunofluorescence microscopy photographs of patient-specific dermal fibroblasts, representative iPSC colony derived from patient-specific fibroblasts, alkaline phosphatase (AP) staining of pluripotent colonies, and markers of pluripotency including TRA-1-60, OCT4, TRA-1-81, SOX2, SSEA-4, and NANOG. See also .
(E) Quantitative bisulfite pyrosequencing of the methylation status of Nanog and Oct4 promoter regions in ten patient-specific iPSC lines derived from five family members with HCM (II-1, III-1, III-2, III-3, and III-8) and five control matched family members (II-2, III-4, III-5, III-6, and III-7). Fibroblasts and H7 human ESCs were used as negative and positive controls, respectively.
(F) Ratios of quantitative PCR values for total versus endogenous expression of the Yamanaka factors OCT4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4 in patient-specific iPSC lines derived from five HCM (II-1, III-1, III-2, III-3, and III-8) and five control (II-2, III-4, III-5, III-6, and III-7) family members. Human ESC from the H7 line was used as controls.
(G) Scatter plots comparing whole genome expression of patient-specific iPSC lines, H7 ESCs, and dermal fibroblasts. Genes with SD greater than 0.2 among all samples (n = 13,044) were selected for Pearson correlation analysis. Error bars represent SEM.
