In myasthenia gravis, weakness occurs when the nerve impulse to initiate or sustain movement does not adequately reach the muscle cells. This is caused when immune cells target and attack the body's own cells (an autoimmune response). This immune response produces antibodies that attach to affected areas, preventing muscle cells from receiving chemical messages (neurotransmitters) from the nerve cell.
Myasthenia gravis is caused by a defect in the transmission of nerve signals to muscles. Normally, nerve endings release a substance called acetylcholine that binds or attaches to receptors on the muscle. This leads to muscle contractions. In Myasthenia gravis, the body's own immune system produces antibodies that block this transmission.
The disorder affects only the function of your nerves and muscles, and the muscle weakness you experience improves when you rest. In moderate to severe cases, myasthenia gravis may cause difficulties with speech, chewing, swallowing and breathing, as well as weakness of your limbs.
Myasthenia gravis can affect people of any age, but it's more common in women younger than 40 and in men older than 60. Estimates of the number of people with this disorder vary because it can be difficult to diagnose, but it likely affects between two and three people per every 10,000 in the United States.
There are several types of myasthenia gravis. The types are classified according to which skeletal muscles are affected.
  • Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
    • Characterized by weakness in the trunk, arms, and legs.
  • Ocular Myasthenia Gravis
    • Characterized weakness only in muscles that control eye movement.
  • Congenital Myasthenia Gravis
    • An inherited condition caused by genetic defect, and transient neonatal.
    • Develops shortly after birth and causes generalized symptoms.
  • Transient neonatal Myasthenia Gravis
    • A temporary condition that develops in 10–20% of infants born to mothers who have myasthenia gravis.
    • Caused by circulation of the mother’s antibodies through the placenta.
    • Lasts as long as the mother's antibodies remain in the infan
