The Lancet, 2001 Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder mainly caused by antibodies to the muscle acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at the neuromuscular junction. Loss of these receptors leads to a defect in neuromuscular transmission with muscle weakness and fatigue.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1978 The basic abnormality in myasthenia gravis (MG) is a reduction in acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at neuromuscular junctions due to the effects of autoantibodies that are directed against the AChRs in most patients, or against neighboring proteins involved in the clustering of AChRs (MuSK, LRP-4, or agrin).

A phase 3 multicenter, prospective, open-label efficacy and safety study of immune globulin (human) 10% caprylate/chromatography purified in patients with myasthenia gravis exacerbations [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder affecting neuromuscular transmission. Exacerbations may involve increasing bulbar weakness and/or sudden respiratory failure, both of which can be critically disabling.

Meta-analysis of subxiphoid approach versus lateral approach for thoracoscopic Thymectomy
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020 Background Compared with traditional open surgery for thymectomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) reduces hospital stay, decreases postoperative pain, and recovers faster. VATS has become increasingly popular in the past decade.

Relationship between hearing function and myasthenia gravis: a contemporary review [PDF]
, 2016 There is increasing evidence of a connection between hearing function and myasthenia gravis (MG). Studies of the pathophysiological basis of this relationship suggest that acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) on outer hair cells (OHCs) play a central role. In
