Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease associated with the anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies and nearly 80% of patients have these autoantibodies. In MG, thymus and thymoma play important roles in central tolerance and result in autoimmunity. Muscle specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related 4 protein (Lrp4) are necessary components of the cluster of AChR on the neuromuscular junction. In MG, there are the antibodies against MuSK and Lrp4, and these antibodies and AChR antibodies are definitely pathogenic. To develop new therapies for MG, we have to carry out the continued research for the mechanism and pathogenesis of the disease.
