ABSTRACT:
A method of screening for a genetic predisposition to anticholinesterase exposure. The method includes the steps of obtaining a peripheral blood sample, and then analysing serum from the blood sample for BuChE levels and inhibitor-susceptibilites. The DNA of peripheral white blood cells from the blood sample is also screened for the presence of BuChE alleles thereby identifying patients who have a genetic predisposition to anticholinesterase exposure.
