TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis A1 - Amato, Anthony A. A1 - Russell, James A. Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Neuromuscular Disorders, 2e 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.
