Abstract excerpt

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease characterized by production of antibodies to acetylcholine receptor at the motor end-plate responsible for impairment of neuromuscular transmission. There is general agreement about the involvement of the thymus in the pathogenesis of MG, and thymic pathological changes are commonly found in MG patients. Genetic factors seem to play an important role in...
