Phenotypes associated with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility in swine genotyped as homozygous or heterozygous for the ryanodine receptor mutation.

Abstract excerpt

We have examined the phenotypic expression of several parameters associated with malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility in three groups (homozygous normal, homozygous abnormal and heterozygous) of Yorkshire/Duroc swine genotyped by a mutation in the ryanodine receptor. Subgroups of homozygous abnormals were classified further by the appearance or absence of muscle rigidity on prolonged in vivo challenge with...
