NCIt definition : Human RYR1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19q13.2 and is approximately
154 kb in length. This allele, which encodes ryanodine receptor 1 protein, plays a
role in skeletal muscle contraction and neuronal signaling. Mutation of the gene is
associated with central core disease, King-Denborough syndrome, minicore myopathy
with external ophthalmoplegia, congenital neuromuscular disease with uniform type
1 fiber and susceptibility to malignant hyperthermia type 1.;
