Anti-agrin autoantibodies in myasthenia gravis

Abstract

The results provide evidence for agrin as a novel target protein for autoantibodies in patients with MG. Anti-agrin antibodies were always detected in combination with autoantibodies against MuSK, LRP4, or AChRs, indicating a high incidence of autoantibodies against several neuromuscular proteins in the agrin-positive MG cases.
