Supplemental Information Supplemental Methods Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Every patient (identified by index k varying between 1 and n) was characterized by 4 cell-level measured features (quantitative properties of their primary myotubes, represented by xj, with j varying between 1 and 4). PCA transforms the original data to principal components cj. The cj are found by a linear transformation of the original data to a new set of the same dimension (4 in the present case). The transformation 32 33 is such that transformed data (components) are mutually independent (i.e. not correlated). The comparisons of patients are then made in the transformed space of components. The transformation is standard in terms of linear algebra. Data of patient k was grouped in a row vector k 1k 4k X x x (1) The Xk for all k constitute a 4 n matrix X, x X x x 11 41 x 1n 4n (2) M is the row vector of four feature means 1 4 x j, calculated over all patients M x x (3) Xc (for centered ) represents the matrix obtained by subtracting from every value in X its corresponding mean (equivalently, from every row in Xk the all-patients mean M). C represents the covariance of Xc, calculated as C = Xc T Xc/n, (4) where T represents matrix transposition. This 4 4 matrix has as diagonal elements the variances of the four measured variables. Page 1
The linear transformation used in the analysis is a multiplication of the original data by the diagonalization matrix P, a 4 4 matrix defined by the equation C = P D P -1, (5) where C is the covariance of the data set (Eq. 4) and D is the diagonal version of C, with principal component variances ( eigenvalues ) λj in the diagonal positions and zero elsewhere. The 4 columns of P are the eigenvectors of C. The transformed data are calculated as Z=Xc P (6) Z is a matrix of the same dimensions as the original dataset (i.e., 4 n in the present case); the principal components for patient k are in row k of Z. The 4 eigenvectors the columns of P are listed in text table 2, together with the variances (eigenvalues) of the principal components. Because the principal components are combinations of the original variables, they provide a joint assessment of the condition of an individual. This assessment in turn is used to determine whether the separation of groups is warranted. The principal components of interest are those of greatest variance. For this purpose, the columns of P are permutated and placed in decreasing order of eigenvalue (variance), which yields the matrix P* Then the columns of Z* = Xc P*, (6) Z * c c c 11 41 c 1n 4n which differ from those of Z in placement only, contain the transformed variables placed from left to right in order of decreasing variance. Note that in this technique groups or clusters may or may not be defined, but have no a-priori role in the analysis. Specifically, the CHCT classification (as HS, HH and HN) is irrelevant to the procedure. To summarize, for patient k, the four principal components are the four elements in row k of matrix Z*. Text Figure 5C is a plot of principal component 1 (c11 c1n, first column of Z*) vs. principal Component 2 (second column of Z*). Page 2

Clinical index calculation is based on: weakness and myopathy (0-2: none, mild, severe), pain and (0-2: none, mild, severe interfering with daily activity), heat and exercise sensitivity (0-2: none, mild, ), hyperck (0-2: <300, 300-1500, >1500), histopathology (0-2: normal, mild, severe ). For example patient #36 has score of: 0 (no myopathy) +1 ()+ 1 (heat strokes) + CK:340 (1) +severe histopathology (2)=5. Once rescaled to range of 1-10 it becomes 8.33. Page 8
