No. Unfortunately there is no alternative test available at this time. Since MH-susceptibility is an inherited condition, researchers hope to develop a blood test for genetic testing in the future. However, if you have been advised to be tested, you should not delay having a muscle biopsy because any “simpler” test is likely years away from today.
