Abstract excerpt
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially lethal inherited pharmacogenetic syndrome due to a dysfunction of the intracellular calcium regulation of skeletal muscle following administration of volatile anaesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants. The ryanodine receptor of skeletal muscle (RYR1), which is an intracellular calcium release channel, has been proposed to be a candidate structure for the MH...
