DOI: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2018-eular.3555
Abstract: Background Myasthenia gravis(MG) is an autoimmune disease frequently associated with antibodies against the acetyl-choline receptor. These antibodies contribute to the characteristic defects in neuromuscular transmission. Inflammatory myopathies, as polymyositis(PM), are immune-mediated neuromuscular diseases. PM and… read more here.
