Timing and localization of myasthenia gravis-related gene expression
2021-01-06
Abstract excerpt
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an acquired autoimmune disorder caused by autoantibodies binding acetylcholine receptors (AChR), muscle-specific kinase (MuSK), agrin or low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (Lrp4). These autoantibodies inhibit neuromuscular transmission by blocking the function of these proteins, and thereby cause fluctuating skeletal muscle weakness. Several reports suggest that these auto...
