nucleotide level by GERP and PhyloP (HG19 values). A Mutation Taster ‘polymorphism’ classification indicates a change will be tolerated, rather than a known SNP.

Supplementary figure S1

Segregation analysis of DYNC2H1 mutations in JATD families

Variants identified in the families screened in this study, with double line indicating consanguineous

marriages, black filled symbols indicating affected individuals. All identified variants were consistent with

affection status and recessive inheritance pattern.

Supplementary figure S2

Depth of sequence coverage across DYNC2H1 using different exome sequencing kits

Representative samples of coverage achieved using the different exome sequencing kits (A) Agilent v1

38Mb (DYNC2H1 not targeted by this kit) (B) Agilent v2 50Mb, processed in the Netherlands (C) Nimblegen

v3 (D) Agilent v2 50Mb, processed in the UK. The y axis shows the coverage, on a scale of 0-100x density of

sequence reads. The heterozygously inherited 3 exon deletion in patient from family JATD-7 is boxed.

Supplementary figure S3

Genomic deletion present in family JATD-7 patient

Heterozygous deletion of 3 exons (exon 87-90) in DYNC2H1 gene identified by ExomeDepth from exome

sequence data. The x-axis shows the chromosome position and the y-axis the ratio between the observed

and the expected number of reads mapping to each exon. The grey area shows the 99% confidence

interval for this ratio. Exons are marked by red crosses, joined by red lines spanning non-sequenced (non-

exonic) regions.

Cross-species amino acid alignment in DYNC2H1 for 21 JATD missense mutations and PAL deletion

Sequences used: NP_001073932.1 (H.sapiens), XP_863187.1 (C.lupus), XP_589775.4 (B.taurus),

NP_084127.2 (M.musculus), NP_075413.1 (R.norvegicus), XP_417173.2 (G.gallus), XP_002664761.1

(D.rerio), NP_492221.2 (C.elegans). Selected protein sequence are shown only.

Supplementary figure S5

DYNC2H1 missense mutations are enriched in functional domains similarly to DNAH5

The DYNC2H1 (upper) and DNAH5 (lower) missense mutation count per window is shown (red line) using a

sliding window of non-overlapping 100 amino acids. Fishers exact test was used to calculate the

enrichment for mutations per 100 amino acid window, the associated –log10 p value is shown by the open

circles. The lower dotted line indicates p=0.05 and the higher dotted line indicates p<0.01. A single 100

amino acid window between AAA3 and AAA4 is statistically enriched for DYNC2H1 mutations, with similar

findings for DNAH5; DNAH5 also shows a non-significant trend of enrichment at 3 other domains in the N-

terminus and the MT-binding stalk domain. However, after correcting for multiple hypothesis testing using

the Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate correction, these values are no longer significant for either

protein (corrected p values per window shown by filled triangles). DNAH5 mutations taken from previous

reports referred to in the main paper.

Supplementary figure S6

Skeletal hallmarks of JATD in DYNC2H1 patients

(A-K) Hallmarks of JATD: Representative examples of brachydactyly type D (B, JATD-2 in their 20s has solely

short and broad thumbs) and cone shaped epiphyses (D, JATD-9; E, JATD-14) were observed. These were

found to be absent in some patients (G, JATD-1 when newborn and A, JATD-1 in their 20s; F, JATD-16), and

much less pronounced or certain in others (C, JATD-3 in their 20s has possible short fingers). Typical

handlebar clavicles were observed at the newborn stage (H, JATD-1; I, JATD-16) while patients in their 20s

displayed a much milder thorax phenotype (J, JATD-2; K, JATD-3).

IFT88 concentrates in distal tips of cilia in DYNC2H1 JATD patient fibroblasts

Antibody stainings of fibroblasts derived from patients from JATD-1 and JATD-2 families show IFT-B protein

IFT88 often accumulates in ciliary tips, suggesting IFT-A transport is disrupted due to DYNC2H1 mutations

in these patients. RPGRIP1L (red) is a marker for the ciliary base, and acetylated α-tubulin (cyan) is a

marker of the cilia axoneme. The merged images at the left show IFT88 (green), RPGRIP1L and acetylated

α-tubulin; right panels display only IFT88 in the same field. Scale bar, 10 μm. Cilia in Figure 3 (main article)

are derived from the whole-field images presented here.

Supplementary figure S8

IFT57 concentrates in distal tips of cilia in DYNC2H1 JATD patient fibroblasts

Antibody stainings of fibroblasts derived from patients from JATD-1 and JATD-2 families show IFT-B protein

IFT57 often accumulates in ciliary tips, suggesting IFT-A transport is disrupted due to DYNC2H1 mutations

in these patients. RPGRIP1L (red) is a marker for the ciliary base, and acetylated α-tubulin (purple) is a

marker of the cilia axoneme. The merged images at the left show IFT57 (green), RPGRIP1L and acetylated

α-tubulin; right panels display only IFT57 in the same field. Scale bar, 10 μm. Cilia in Figure 3 (main article)

are derived from the whole-field images presented here.
