(A) A standard spectrum of different 42 inorganic materials containing the Fe ion of different oxidation states analyzed by 43 EELS technology was used to confirm the Fe ion status in SF3B1 mutant and 44 wild type RARS/-T patients. Overlay histograms represent the energy (eV) of the 45 fitted region corresponding to the iron peak in several oxidation states covering a 46 shift of energy from 708-710 eV. (B) Chemical shift and peak shape of Fe2+ and 47 Fe3+ of different elements. (Laurence A.J Garvie et al., Nature 396, 667-670, 48 1998) 49 Abbreviations: eV, electron volt Figure S1.

RT-PCR analysis was conducted on healthy subjects, SF3B1 mutant 70 and WT RARS/-T mRNA using specific primers for SLC25A37 normal and 71 abnormal variant. GAPDH was used as loading control. Data are presented as 72 relative expression. Maximum and minimum values are given per each sample. 73 74 75 12 Relative Expression (RQ) Healthy subject 10 8 SF3B1 Wild type SF3B1 Mutant 6 4 2 0 Normal Variant 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 Abnormal Variant 88 89 90 91 92 Table legends Table S1. Differential gene expression between SF3B1 mutant RARS/-T 93 patients and healthy subjects. Analysis of differential gene expression showed 94 45 unique genes that were found to be different between SF3B1 mutant and 95 healthy subjects. 96 97 98 Table S2. Differential exon usage between SF3B1 mutant and wild type 99 RARS/-T patients. Analysis of differential exon usage showed a total of 353 100 genes that were represented more than once corresponding to 271 unique genes 101 with at least 1 exon showing differential changes between SF3B1 mutant and 102 wild type RARS/-T patients. 103
