It's unclear yet. Genetic factors may be associated with myasthenia gravis, only in rare cases mothers with myasthenia gravis have children who are born with myasthenia gravis.
YES IT IS.
I'm 75yrs old and I got MG at 72 and it's controlled with meds. My daughter 50yrs old just got MG and hit her hard,she can't walk and is weak,speech,eye,swallow. Don't let anyone tell you it's not.
I would absolutely agree. My daughter was diagnosed at 3; I was diagnosed at 41.
