Autoimmunity: Molecular Mechanisms, Biomarkers, and Therapeutic Opportunities
Major types of immunometabolism, epigenetics, posttranscriptional regulation, and functional reprogramming involved in autoimmune diseases. The roles of immunometabolism, epigenetics, posttranscriptional regulation, and functional reprogramming in autoimmune diseases have been a major research focus in recent years.

Review of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome Caused by Pathogenic Variants in GFPT1
ABSTRACT Glutamine:fructose‐6‐phosphate transaminase 1 (GFPT1) catalyzes the first and rate‐limiting step of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) to generate UDP‐GlcNAc. GFPT1 exon 9 is specifically spliced in in striated muscles, which makes a long isoform of GFPT1 (GFPT1‐L).

Familial Autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis (Report Of 3 Cases)
Familial Autoimmune myasthenia gravis is rare, occurring in only about 1.3% cases of myasthenia gravis (MG). Here in we report a family with three family members affected by MG. Proband presented with generalised myasthenia where as the other two

Fatigue in Myasthenia Gravis: Recent Advances and Emerging Concepts
ABSTRACT Fatigue is a common, often disabling symptom in myasthenia gravis (MG), distinct from muscle fatigability, and strongly associated with reduced quality of life. This narrative review examines current evidence on fatigue in MG, its patient impact, and future research directions. Earlier studies, mostly small and heterogeneous, reported a highly

ABSTRACT Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are inherited disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins essential for neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function. Pathogenic variants have been identified in more than 35 genes, underscoring the complexity of synaptic biology and the wide range of mechanisms that can compromise neuromuscular ...

Miasthenia gravis in pediatric age
Background: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigue of different muscle groups, secondary to a synaptic transmission alteration caused by the blockade and destruction of the acetylcholine ...

Presynaptic Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes
ABSTRACT Presynaptic congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) encompass a large number of rare neurologic disorders caused by impaired release of acetylcholine (ACh) from motor nerve terminals. There are two main groups of presynaptic CMS: one in which the amount of ACh in synaptic vesicles (SV) is diminished and another in which the mechanism of synaptic
