Butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) genotyping for post-succinylcholine apnea in an Australian population.

Clinical chemistry - 1 Aug 2003

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Measurement of plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity and inhibitor-based phenotyping are standard methods for identifying patients who experience post-succinylcholine (SC) apnea attributable to inherited variants of the BChE enzyme. Our aim was to develop PCR-based assays for BCHE mutation detection and implement them for routine diagnostic use at a university teaching hospital. METHODS:...
