Genetics of autoimmune myasthenia gravis, a model for antibody-mediated autoimmunity in man.

Journal of autoimmunity - 1 Sept 2003

Garchon Henri-Jean

Abstract excerpt

Autoimmune myasthenia gravis is an antibody-mediated autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction aimed at the muscle acetylcholine receptor. Recent genetic analyses focusing on a nonclass II HLA-linked locus, MYAS1, and on one of the genes encoding the AChR self-antigen, CHRNA1, are discussed.
