Has anybody heard of these from their MG docs or research? I was looking for any diagnostic tools that would (might) help to predict what the degree of progression of MG might be. It just seemed to me like the folks in this forum who have (or had) thymus involvement were facing much bigger challenges that I am experiencing (I have no thymus involvement - - but am considered late onset).

This article @

http://archneur.ama-assn.org/cgi/con...ull/57/11/1596

was what I came across. For those not into the L-o-o-o-ng details, skip directly to the CONCLUSIONS section.

Has anyone been tested for these antibodies (especially interesting for those of us who are seronegative)? I know the article is 9 years old - -but it was news to me!!

Thoughts? (AnnieB - I'll bet you already know the scoop on this!!)

Thanks for any info
Sue
