Understanding Myasthenia Gravis
What is Myasthenia Gravis?
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness in voluntary skeletal muscles. It results from antibodies that attack acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction, impairing communication between nerves and muscles. This leads to fluctuating muscle weakness that worsens with activity and improves with rest. MG can affect anyone at any age but is most common in women under 40 and men over 60.
