Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a life-threatening pharmacogenetic disease with only two known causative genes, RYR1 and CACNA1S. Both are huge genes containing numerous exons, and they reportedly only account for 50-70% of known MH patients. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and bioinformatics could help delineate the genetic diagnosis of MH and several MH-like clinical...
