Description : Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS), a skeletal muscle disorder most often inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, is one of the main causes of death due to anesthesia. In susceptible people, a malignant hyperthermia episode is triggered by exposure to commonly used volatile anesthetic agents such as halothane or depolarizing muscle relaxants such as succinyl choline. A fulminant MH crisis is characterized by any combination of hyperthermia, skeletal muscle rigidity, tachycardia or arrhythmia, respiratory and metabolic acidosis, and rhabdomyolysis. Except for this susceptibility to triggering agents, MHS patients are not clinically distinguishable from the general population (summary by Monnier et al., 1997). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Susceptibility to Malignant Hyperthermia Other MHS loci include MHS2 (154275) on chromosome 17q; MHS3 (154276) on chromosome 7q; MHS4 (600467) on chromosome 3q; MHS5 (601887), caused by mutation in the CACNA1S gene (114208) on chromosome 1q32; and MHS6 (601888) on chromosome 5p.;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the ryanodine receptor gene (RYR1, 180901.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Elevated serum CPK; Hyperkalemia; Hyperphosphatemia; Myoglobinuria; Diagnosis by exposing muscle biopsy to caffeine and/or halothane;

Prefixed ID : #145600;
