Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Is myasthenia gravis hereditary?Doctor's answer:
Myasthenia gravis is related to infectious diseases, autoimmune conditions, and environmental factors, while it is not strongly associated with hereditary transmission across generations. The primary consideration is the increased excretion of neurotransmitters, or an increase in acetylcholine excretion at the neuromuscular junctions, which prevents the normal generation of neural impulses, leading to impaired muscle conduction and resulting in motor function issues. It is mainly considered to be congenital or related to postnatal growth and development. Treatment primarily involves exogenous supplementation.
