Myasthenia gravis seronegative for acetylcholine receptor antibodies.

Myasthenia gravis seronegative for acetylcholine receptor antibodies.

Antibodies to muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) are found in a variable proportion of patients with myasthenia without typical acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies, but their characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms are not fully understood. We discuss the incidence and pathogenicity of MuSK antibo...
