A case of succinylcholine apnea. Identification of genetic variants

: A report of a case of prolonged apnoea after succicurarium in a female patient with abnormal pseudo-cholinesterases is followed by a presentation of a study of pseudo-cholinesterases in 12 members of the family. The value of the use of 4 tests of inhibition of cholinesterase activity in determining the genotype of an individual is emphasised.
