1. why would that be different in MG?
2. actually scientists are interested and they do get grants, but this is not translated (for some reason) into the clinic. There seems to be a total disconnect between the academic interest in this illness and the clinical interest.
3. there is a good model. In fact there are quite a few interesting studies published in the last few years in mice on MuSK. Yet, 0 clinical studies.
Maybe (hopefully?) there is just a lag period and we will start seeing some soon?
