Asymptomatic maternal myasthenia as a cause of the Pena-Shokeir phenotype.

Asymptomatic maternal myasthenia as a cause of the Pena-Shokeir phenotype.

We report six sibs with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and a Pena-Shokeir phenotype, born to a healthy woman who was discovered to have asymptomatic myasthenia gravis (MG). This is the first report of anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies causing fetal akinesia/hypokinesia sequence in th...
