Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is the most common disorder of neuromuscular junction in which autoantibodies develop against nicotinic acetylcholine receptor for unknown reasons. The association of immunomodulator genes with different autoimmune disease has been studied in recent years. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate correlation between a genetic variation in Stromal Cell Derived Factor-1...
