Patient's question:
My father is quite old and suffers from Myasthenia Gravis. I would like to ask if Myasthenia Gravis can be inherited across generations?Doctor's answer:
Myasthenia gravis has certain characteristics of hereditary transmission across generations. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease and a relatively common disease in neurology, primarily caused by inflammation of the neuromuscular junction, which manifests as muscle weakness. The most initial and frequently occurring symptom is eye weakness. For the treatment of myasthenia gravis, immunosuppressants can be used for treatment, or hormone shock therapy can be administered.
