Deskripsi

The genetic cause(s) of malignant hyperthermia and exertional heat illness are unknown in approximately 30% of cases. To address this barrier, the authors performed genome sequencing on a large cohort of cases, identifying rare variants in ASPH, a gene encoding junctin, and validating themĀ in animal and cell models.
