Abstract excerpt
Central core disease of muscle (CCD; MIM 117000) is a rare inheritable myopathy that is frequently found in association with susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia (MHS). This observation has prompted us to perform a linkage study in CCD families using various chromosome 19q probes that are linked to the MHS locus and map close to the ryanodine receptor gene (RYR1), a strong MHS candidate gene. Our genetic...
