What does MG stand for?

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease, meaning the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own parts. MG affects the communication between nerves and muscles (the neuromuscular junction). People with MG lose the ability to control muscles voluntarily. They experience muscle weakness and fatigue of various severity.

What is the cause of MG?

MG is an autoimmune synaptopathy. The disorder occurs when the immune system malfunctions and generates antibodies that attack the body's tissues. The antibodies in MG attack a normal human protein, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, or a related protein called MuSK, a muscle-specific kinase.

What are the symptoms of MG?

The initial, main symptom in MG is painless weakness of specific muscles, not fatigue. The muscle weakness becomes progressively worse during periods of physical activity and improves after periods of rest. Typically, the weakness and fatigue are worse toward the end of the day.

Is there a cure for MG?

MG is a lifelong neuromuscular disease. There isn’t a cure, but treatments can help and some patients may achieve remission. Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Advertising on our site helps support our mission.
