Can molecular genetic approaches improve the diagnosis of Malignant Hyperthermia Susceptibility compared to traditional muscle biopsy?
Molecular genetic testing offers a promising complementary approach to traditional muscle biopsy for diagnosing malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, especially in pediatric patients.
Biebuyck et al. (1992) studied this question.
