Post New antibody test discovered for MG

I wish to thank all for your very supportive, informative and helpful posts!
I ran across this article about a new antibody for the LRP4 protein that is not only important to the formation of neuromuscular junctions, but also in maintaining the connectivity. This has been discovered by Dr. Lin Mei, Director of The Institute of Molecular Medicine and Genetics at the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents University. This provides a third definitive test for MG and is very helpful and important for those who test negative on the acetylcholine antibodies and the MuSK! I hope this may help many here and especially those who have posted about having MG, but not testing positive on the two, currently, known and proven antibody tests for definitive diagnoses and treatments. If an established member of this fine forum would be kind enough to look this up and post the link it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
