A unique subphenotype of myasthenia gravis.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 Jan 2018

Heckmann Jeannine M, Nel Melissa

Abstract excerpt

While extraocular muscles (EOMs) are affected early in generalized myasthenia gravis (MG), and their treatment responsiveness is similar to nonocular muscles, we have identified an ophthalmoplegic (OP) subphenotype that remains resistant to treatment. This subphenotype of ophthalmoplegic MG (OP-MG) most commonly affects acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive cases with juvenile-onset MG and African genetic...
