Abstract excerpt
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) and butyrylcholinestherase (BCHE) deficiency are two relevant pharmacogenetic disorders in anesthetic practice linked with sequence variants, the former in the RyR1 and CACNA1S genes, the latter in the BCHE gene. Genotyping for known pathogenic variants in these genes is useful to help identify susceptible individuals, and others may exist but remain unknown, because full-length...
