Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility is a heritable musculoskeletal disorder that can present as a potentially fatal hypermetabolic response to triggering anesthesia agents. Genomic screening for variants in MH-associated genes RYR1 and CACNA1S provides an opportunity to prevent morbidity and mortality. There are limited outcomes data from disclosing variants in RYR1, the most common MH...
