Auto-antibodies to the receptor tyrosine kinase MuSK in patients with myasthenia gravis without acetylcholine receptor antibodies.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an antibody-mediated autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction. In approximately 80% of patients, auto-antibodies to the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) are present. These antibodies cause loss of AChR numbers and function, and lead to failure of neuro...
