The above link gives you some statistics about familial myasthenia. There are two types of familial myasthenia and since treatment and treatment response differ, it is important to know which you have. There is the kind that is associated with predisposition to autoimmune dieases, which is the type I have, even though my father and his only sister had MG. Then there is the type that is associated with specific genetic abnormalities. You can read about them on myasthenickids.org. If any of you have the autoantibodies, then it is likely that all of you have autoimmune MG, but if you don't, it is possible that you carry specific genes that result in myasthenia. nc
