Abstract
Four carriers of the abnormal trait for malignant hyperpyrexia have been studied to determine the value of the various methods of carrier detection. Tests included enzyme estimations, histochemistry, electronmicroscopy, biochemistry and in vitro exposure of muscle strips to halothane. By combining these procedures it is possible to detect all the asymptomatic carriers of this disease.Keywords
