Malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility is a rare life-threatening disorder that occurs upon exposure to a triggering agent. MH is commonly due to protein-altering variants in  RYR1  and  CACNA1S . The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics recommends that when pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in  RYR1  and  CACNA1S  are incidentally found, they should be reported to the carriers. The detection of actionable variants allows the avoidance of exposure to triggering agents during anesthesia. First, we report a 10-year-old Icelandic proband with a suspected MH event, harboring a heterozygous missense variant NM_000540.2:c.6710G&gt;A r.(6710g&gt;a) p.(Cys2237Tyr) in the  RYR1  gene that is likely pathogenic. The variant is private to four individuals within a three-generation family and absent from 62,240 whole-genome sequenced (WGS) Icelanders. Haplotype sharing and WGS revealed that the variant occurred as a somatic mosaicism also present in germline of the proband’s paternal grandmother. Second, using a set of 62,240 Icelanders with WGS, we assessed the carrier frequency of actionable pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in  RYR1  and  CACNA1S . We observed 13 actionable variants in  RYR1 , based on ClinVar classifications, carried by 43 Icelanders, and no actionable variant in  CACNA1S . One in 1450 Icelanders carries an actionable variant for MH. Extensive sequencing allows for better classification and precise dating of variants, and WGS of a large fraction of the population has led to incidental findings of actionable MH genotypes.
