Abstract excerpt
Central core disease (CCO) is an autosomal dominant myopathy clinically distinct from malignant hyperthermia (MHS). In a large kindred in which the gene for CCO is segregating, two-point linkage analysis gave a maximum lod score, between the central core disease locus (CCO) and the ryanodine receptor locus (RYR1), of 11.8, with no recombination. Mutation within RYR1 is responsible for MHS, and RYR1 is also a...
