Archives of Internal ...Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder affecting synaptic transmission at the motor end plate. It is characterized by abnormal muscle fatigability and can be either genetic or acquired. Infants born with the genetic form of the disease (very rare) are born to healthy mothers and suffer permanent disability.Europe PMC is an archive of life sciences journal literature.Purpose . The comorbidity of myasthenia gravis (MG), with other autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is relatively frequent but the co-occurrence with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) along with various autoimmune manifestations in the absence of thymoma is of extreme rarity.The most common type of myasthenia, myasthenia gravis, is caused by an abnormal immune response in which antibodies block the ability of the muscle to detect the neurotransmitter. Congenital myasthenia, however, differs from myasthenia gravis because the disrupted communication isn’t caused by antibodies, but by genetic defects. Background: Around 60%--75% of myasthenia gravis (MG) patients initially present with nonspecific ocular symptoms.
