RESUMO
The genetic variation of human butyrylcholinesterase is associated with the majority of prolonged cases of apnea in patients submitted to the muscle relaxant succinylcholine. The present study reports two new mutations of the BCHE gene in 346 Euro-Brazilians: IVS3-14T>C found in five heterozygotes (allele frequency: 0.72+/-0.32%) and L574fsX576 found in one heterozygote (allele frequency: 0.14+/-0.14%). These two variants were not found in 85 Guarani Amerindians. It is not expected that the IVS3-14T>C mutation may interfere in the splicing process and that the mutation found in exon 4 (L574fsX576) may disturb BChE tetramerization and activity.
