Abstract

Antibodies to muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) characterize up to 5 of myasthenia gravis patients. This review focuses on the differences to clinical antiacetylcholine receptor-myasthenia gravis, and on the physiology and animal studies that elucidate the role of MuSK and help explain the clinical disease.
