Abstract excerpt
The determination of susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia (MH) by genetic investigation is a controversial issue because of the genetic heterogeneity of this disorder. The requirement for such an approach in MH diagnosis is a strong correlation between MH-associated genetic abnormalities and phenotypic findings in the in vitro contracture test (IVCT). After a severe clinical MH crisis during general...
