Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a serious inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by continuous production of autoantibodies against targets in the neuromuscular junctions, resulting in muscle weakness. Autoimmunity has long been presumed to be irreversible. The current therapeutic regimens may a...
Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular transmission. Gut dysbiosis has been implicated in autoimmune pathogenesis, yet integrated microbial and metabolomic profiling in MG remains scarce.
Objectives: To characterize gut microbiota and t...
The purpose of this project was to conduct a genome-wide associate study to search for the genetic factors that predispose to myasthenia gravis. The rationale for this study lies in the fact that, although the immunological and physiological processes affecting the neuromuscular junctions of myas...
