Malignant hyperthermia in infancy and identification of novel RYR1 mutation

D Chamley, NA Pollock, KM Stowell and RL Brown
Department of Anaesthesia, Middlemore Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand.

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) has been reported as non-existent in children less than 1 yr old, although several unconfirmed reports have been published. A case report of MH in a 6-month-old child is presented, with confirmation of MH susceptibility by in vitro contracture testing of quadriceps muscle at 13 yr old. Genetic analysis revealed a novel RYR1 mutation that substitutes arginine 2452 for tryptophan in a region of the calcium channel mutated in several other MH pedigrees.
