A metabolic disorder characterized by prolonged apnea after the use of certain anesthetic drugs, including the muscle relaxants succinylcholine or mivacurium and other ester local anesthetics. The duration of the prolonged apnea varies significantly depending on the extent of the enzyme deficiency. It is caused by mutations in the BCHE located on chromosome 3 (3q26.1-3q26.2) and multiple atypical variants have been identified. The condition is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. | Due to | True | Deficiency of butyrylcholinesterase (disorder) | Inferred relationship | Some | 2 |
