Myasthenia Gravis with antibodies directed against postsynaptic proteins, usually the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor are the most prevalent. Other types are Myasthenia Gravis associated with muscle-specific kinase antibodies and MG with unknown autoantibodies (seronegative) Myasthenia Gravis. There are three groups: 1. Purely ocular Myasthenia Gravis 2. Early-onset ( 40-50 years) generalized Myasthenia Gravis 3. Late-onset generalized MG. In about 15%, the disease can be classified as paraneoplastic, usually associated with a thymoma.;
