Abstract
Thymic changes such as hyperplasia and thymoma are infrequent in MuSK-positive myasthenia gravis (MuSK-MG), unlike in AChR-positive myasthenia. Sir, Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease of autoimmune origin characterized by autoantibodies to various components of the neuromuscular junction. Routinely testing for titin in AChR-negative myasthenia patients may improve our understanding of the interaction between titin and non-AChR antibodies. [Extracted from the article]
