Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We aimed to identify rare (minor allele frequency ≤1%), potentially pathogenic non-synonymous variants in a well-characterised cohort with a clinical history of exertional heat illness (EHI) or exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER). The genetic link between malignant hyperthermia (MH) and EHI was investigated due to their phenotypic overlap. METHODS: The coding regions of 38 genes relating to skeletal muscle...
