Remodeling of the neuromuscular junction in myasthenia gravis increases serum neurofilament heavy chain levels.
Sui H WongAxel PetzoldPublished in: Muscle & nerve (2023)
The increase of serum neurofilament heavy chain levels in myasthenia gravis is consistent with observations of muscle denervation. We suggest that there is ongoing remodeling of the neuromuscular junction in myasthenia gravis. Longitudinal quantification of neurofilament isoform levels will be needed to investigate the prognostic value and potentially guide treatment decisions.
