Group Pages

 

2013 MHAUS Scientific Conference
Presented by the Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS) in conjunction with Toronto General Hospital

Clinical Significance of Ryanodine Receptor-1 (RYR-1) Gene Variants: New Insights into Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment of RYR1-Linked Diseases
Chestnut Conference Centre, University of Toronto, Canada
MH Scientific Conference: November 1-2, 2013
 
Summary/Abstract:
Through lectures and interactive discussions with subject matter experts in molecular genetic diagnosis, and muscle function in health and disease, this project will inform physicians and scientists who are researching malignant hyperthermia (MH) and its variants and those who care for patients with MH, heat stroke and muscle breakdown of the latest advances in the field. Sharing this information will advance genetic diagnosis of patients suspected of being at risk for MH, congenital muscle disorders, heat stroke and muscle breakdown with exercise.
