Abstract excerpt
A single base change in the RYR1 gene encoding the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (calcium-sensitive calcium-release channel of the sarcoplasmic reticulum), resulting in the substitution of G1021 by A, has been proposed to underlie malignant-hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility in as many as 10% of cases in the European population. As part of our mutation-screening program in MH-susceptible (MHS) individuals, we...
