| 617936 | OMIM | Butyrylcholinesterase deficiency (BCHED) | An autosomal recessive metabolic condition characterized by increased sensitivity to certain anesthetic drugs, including the muscle relaxants succinylcholine or mivacurium. BCHED results in slower hydrolysis of these drugs and, consequently, a prolonged neuromuscular block, leading to apnea. The duration of the prolonged apnea varies significantly depending on the extent of the enzyme deficiency. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
