J Clin Neuromuscul Dis. 2024 Dec 1;26(2):90-99. doi: 10.1097/CND.0000000000000504.

ABSTRACT

This update starts with an interesting series of children and adults with congenital myasthenic syndrome with a DOK7 variant. The next section is on autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG) epidemiology, cost of care, and hospitalizations. A number of studies on the newer treatments are discussed including a phase 2 trial of nipocalimab and recommendations for using some of these drugs. A large trial emphasizing the negative effects of pyridostigmine in muscle-specific kinase MG is covered. A study on the incidence of taste disorders and alopecia in MG follows. The update ends with the topic of the burden of disease in MG and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.
