Abstract excerpt
A patient with mutations in the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) epsilon subunit, who subsequently developed autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG), led us to search for epsilon AChR mutations and polymorphisms in 167 patients with early-onset MG. No epsilon-subunit mutations or increased incidence of exonic epsilon-subunit polymorphisms were found. The allelic frequency of the intron polymorphism IVS11+ 20del20 was more...
