La génétique du stress chez le porc a été dominée par l'étude du syndrome de stress aigu ou hyperthermie maligne. Chez les animaux sensibles, tout état de stress peut provoquer un syndrome d'hyperthermie maligne qui se caractérise par d'intenses contractures musculaires donnant une rigidité généralisée de la musculature, une élévation rapide de la température, une acidose métabolique des tissus, une cyanose, et peut aboutir à la mort. Le syndrome peut aussi être déclenché par l'inhalation d'halothane, anesthésique gazeux. 1, record 1, French, - syndrome%20de%20stress%20aigu

La susceptibilité HM est une myopathie génétiquement transmise sur le mode dominant non lié au sexe et quasiment sans expression clinique en dehors de la survenue de la crise. La crise peut être déclenchée par tous les agents volatils halogénés et la succinylcholine. Elle consiste en un état hypermétabolique primitivement musculaire, souvent accompagné de rigidité, et peut aboutir à la destruction généralisée du muscle squelettique et secondairement à la défaillance multiviscérale. 1, record 2, French, - hyperthermie%20maligne
