Abstract excerpt
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare pharmacogenetic disorder triggered by volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine, most often linked to pathogenic variants in RYR1, CACNA1S, and STAC3. The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed MH diagnostics, offering new opportunities for perioperative risk assessment as caffeine-halothane contracture testing declines. However, challenges remain,...
