BackgroundThere is disparity between the incidence of malignant hyperthermia (MH) reactions and the prevalence of variants in the RYR1 gene associated with susceptibility to MH (where susceptibility is determined by in vitro contracture tests). Our aims were to use clinical and genetic data from the UK to explain this disparity and to examine if these data are consistent with the clinical risk of MH being inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. MethodsClinical MH and genotyping data were extr...
