IgG Subclass (IgG1‐4) and IgA Autoantibody Profiles Against Muscle‐Specific Kinase in a Greek Cohort

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Muscle‐specific kinase myasthenia gravis (MuSK‐MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder predominantly mediated by IgG4 autoantibodies disrupting MuSK signaling. The contribution of other isotypes remains incompletely defined. We characterized the serological profile of a Greek cohort of MuSK‐MG patients.

Optimization of the Cell‐Based Assay Methodology to Study Degradation of Acetylcholine Receptors (Antigenic Modulation) by Antibodies From Myasthenia Gravis Patients

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Degradation of cell‐surface acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) by antigenic modulation is a key pathogenic mechanism of myasthenia gravis (MG) autoantibodies, yet standard assays primarily detect antibody binding rather than functional effects.

Urinary Dysfunction in Myasthenic Syndromes: A Scoping Review of Clinical Features and Treatment‐Related Associations

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urinary dysfunction has been reported in association with myasthenic syndromes, including myasthenia gravis (MG), Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), and congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS), but evidence regarding its prevalence, clinical impact, pathophysiology, and management remains limited.

Early Remission of Cerebrospinal Fluid Interleukin‐6 After Initial Immunotherapy Predicts a Good Prognosis in Autoimmune Encephalitis

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Autoimmune encephalitis therapy requires adjusting the regimen based on therapeutic response; however, clinical indicators of this response remain unknown. Aim To determine the predictive capability of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), electroencephalography (EEG), and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying responders to ...

Management of Refractory Thymoma‐Associated Myasthenia Gravis With Sequential FcRn Antagonist and Complement Inhibition Combined With Resection of Pleural Dissemination

Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Myasthenia gravis (MG) associated with disseminated thymoma is often refractory to conventional treatments due to continuous autoantibody production. The optimal treatment strategy, particularly the combination of complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor, neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist, and surgical resection in thymoma‐associated ...
