Just got this through my Google Alerts. Anybody know what this new antibody is?
"The disease (MG) is diagnosed through the use of blood tests for one of two antibodies; a third antibody related to MG, also has been discovered and will be discussed at this month's meeting." http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&q=htt...EKlwYZRJrVkdRw

I would love to read a profile of LRP4-antibody MG! I think I have read, for example, that people with MuSK antibodies tend to have a slightly different group of symptoms than people with AChR-antibodies (more neck and bulbar symptoms? I'm not sure).
I'm sero-negative, and my symptoms are somewhat atypical (my eyes are only very mildly affected, and heat doesn't bother me). I have been tested three times for AChR (and once for MuSK and LEMS), all negative. My best guess is that I have some other antibody. Maybe soon they'll figure out what typical LRP4 myasthenia looks like, and it will look like me. Abby |
