Abstract excerpt
The Fcgamma receptors, FcgammaRIIA and FcgammaRIIIB contain polymorphisms with different capacity for IgG binding and phagocytosis. Thirty myasthenia gravis (MG) patients and 49 healthy controls were genotyped for the FcgammaRIIA and FcgammaRIIIB polymorphisms using polymerase chain reaction. The frequency of the FcgammaRIIA-H/H genotype was increased in thymoma MG patients compared to other MG patients (P =...
