Key result
The RYR1 C1840T mutation exhibited recombination with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility in 4 individuals across two Scandinavian families, suggesting a need to reconsider its causal role.
Why the study?
Does the RYR1 mutation C1840T reliably segregate with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility in affected families?
Observational
Does the RYR1 mutation C1840T reliably segregate with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility in affected families?
The observed discordance between MH susceptibility and the RYR1 C1840T mutation suggests that its role as a definitive cause of MH in some families should be reconsidered.

Clinicians should interpret RYR1 C1840T cautiously in MH families; leaves open its causal role and requires validation in larger cohorts.
The ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) mutation C1840T has been reported to segregate with malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility in several families. We have investigated several Scandinavian MH families with respect to five different RYR1 mutations reported to cause predisposition to MH, and we here report on two of the families in which the C1840T mutation was detected. In these two families there was recombination between MH susceptibility and this mutation in one and three individuals, respectively. These findings may suggest that it is necessary to reconsider the specificity of the IVCT and the role of C1840T as a cause of MH susceptibility in some families exhibiting this mutation.

Fagerlund et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility. RYR1 mutation C1840T was evaluated on Recombination between malignant hyperthermia susceptibility and the C1840T mutation. The RYR1 C1840T mutation exhibited recombination with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility in 4 individuals across two Scandinavian families, suggesting a need to reconsider its causal role.
