Genetic factors in autoimmune myasthenia gravis.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 Jan 2008

Giraud Matthieu, Vandiedonck Claire, Garchon Henri-Jean

Abstract excerpt

Autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG) is a multifactorial disease, markedly influenced by genetic factors, even though it shows limited heritability. The clinically typical form of autoimmune MG with thymus hyperplasia shows the most reproducible genetic associations, especially with the A1-B8-DR3 (8.1) haplotype of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). However, because of strong linkage disequilibrium, the...
