Immune disease and HLA associations with myasthenia gravis

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
P O Behan

Abstract

In the late 1950's laboratory and clinical evidence suggested that myasthenia gravis was an autoimmune disorder. Since then a voluminous literature has developed documenting the many immunological abnormalities that occur in this condition. Recent findings point to a central disorder of immunoregulation. It is postulated that the disease occurs as a result of host genetic and environmental influences-the latter being, as yet unidentified and possibly a virus.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
