AB Acquired,  autoimmune  myasthenia  gravis  (MG),  the  most  common  noniatrogenic  disorder  of  neuromuscular  transmission  (DNMT),  remains  the  favorite  child  of  many  neuromuscular  clinicians.  Arguably,  it  provides  more  professional  satisfaction  than  any  other  neuromuscular  disease.  This  fulfillment  is  derived  in  part  from  the  intellectual  satisfaction  that  comes  from  understanding  disease  pathogenesis.  At  the  same  time,  satisfaction  is  gained  by  the  ability  to  make  meaningful  improvements  in  patient  function  and  quality  of  life  through  the  application  of  rational  and  effective  treatment.  MG  represents  one  of  medicine's  most  notable  translational  successes  in  bringing  basic  science  to  the  bedside.
