Phenotype:ryr1 mh susc avoid CPIC A 95 / 100
CPIC rec 8093917 [Strong]: Halogenated volatile anesthetics or the depolarizing muscle relaxant succinylcholine are relatively contraindicated in persons with malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS). They should not be used, except in extraordinary circumstances where the benefits outweigh the risks. In general, alternative anesthetics are widely available and effective in patients with MHS.

CPIC rec 8093923 [Strong]: No CACNA1S genotype is available. Based on RYR1 status, clinical findings, family history, further genetic testing and other laboratory data should guide use of halogenated volatile anesthetics or depolarizing muscle relaxants.
