Genetic heterogeneity in Leigh syndrome: Highlighting treatable and novel genetic causes.

abstract：:Malignant hyperthermia (MH)-related mutations have been identified in the ryanodine receptor type 1 gene (RYR1) and in the dihydropyridine gene (CACNA1S), but about half of the patients do not have causative mutations in these genes. We wanted to study the contribution of other muscle genes to the RYR1 phenotypes. We ...
