Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variations in the butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) gene can prolong neuromuscular block after the administration of the neuromuscular blocking drugs succinylcholine and mivacurium. The most frequent variations in the BCHE gene are the atypical (A) and Kalow (K) variants. We, therefore, developed a detection approach for these most common variants based on the method of denaturing high-performance liquid...
