Abstract
Abstract: This update starts with an interesting series of children and adults with congenital myasthenic syndrome with a DOK7 variant. The next section is on autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG) epidemiology, cost of care, and hospitalizations. A number of studies on the newer treatments are discussed including a phase 2 trial of nipocalimab and recommendations for using some of these drugs. A large trial emphasizing the negative effects of pyridostigmine in muscle-specific kinase MG is covered. A study on the incidence of taste disorders and alopecia in MG follows. The update ends with the topic of the burden of disease in MG and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease provides original articles of interest to physicians who treat patients with neuromuscular diseases, including disorders of the motor neuron, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction, muscle, and autonomic nervous system. Each issue highlights the most advanced and successful approaches to diagnosis, functional assessment, surgical intervention, pharmacologic treatment, rehabilitation, and more.
