- Status
- active
A rare genetic neuromuscular disease characterized by impaired transmission at the neuromuscular junction, typically presenting in infancy or childhood, although later onset is possible. The hallmark symptom is muscle fatigability, frequently accompanied by ocular manifestations (ptosis, ophthalmoparesis), bulbar involvement (dysphagia), a generalized weakness, which can lead to potentially life-threatening respiratory insufficiency.
