Abstract excerpt
A locus for malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS) has been localized on chromosome 19q12-13.2, while at the same time the gene encoding the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RYR1) also has been mapped to this region and has been found to be tightly linked to MHS. RYR1 was consequently postulated as the candidate for the molecular defect causing MHS, and a point mutation in the gene has now been identified...
