Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Our primary objective was to detect malignant hyperthermia (MH)-susceptible persons and thereby prevent MH episodes. We identified variants in the ryanodine receptor isoform 1 using molecular pedigree analysis. METHODS: Nineteen exons covering major hotspots were chosen for the primary screening by polymerase chain reaction, denaturing high performance liquid chromatography, and confirmed by direct...
