Malignant Hyperthermia and Ryanodine Receptor Type 1 Gene (RyR1) Mutation in a Family in Singapore.

CONCLUSION: This is the first report of a Singaporean family with at least 4 members carrying a MH-causative mutation in RyR1 gene. This report serves to highlight the existence of the putative gene for MH in Singapore, and the need for clinical vigilance during anaesthesia involving the use of triggering agents.
