ABSTRACT Thymoma‐associated myasthenia gravis (TAMG) is frequently refractory, particularly when complicated by myasthenic crisis in advanced invasive disease. Complement C5 inhibitors and neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) inhibitors have expanded the treatment of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody‐positive generalized myasthenia gravis; however, their ...

Defining Features of Gabriele‐de Vries Syndrome in Adults: A Case Report and Literature Review
ABSTRACT Gabriele‐de Vries syndrome (GADEVS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in the YY1 gene. Like most rare genetic syndromes, the adult manifestations of GADEVS remain poorly defined. Here, we describe the oldest patient reported to date with GADEVS—a 63‐year‐old woman with a c.1177_1179del YY1 variant ...

ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Quantitative muscle ultrasound (QMUS) is a validated technique for assessing muscle pathology, yet its role in disorders primarily affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) remains unclear. This pilot study aimed to explore whether QMUS is associated with structural muscle changes in patients with acquired or genetic NMJ ...
