Clinical characteristics of late-onset myasthenia gravis

“…There were reports of aggravation of symptoms in many MG patients after taking statin [ 15 ] and 11 cases of MG were aggravated after taking statins in our study. Statins might induce or exacerbate MG symptoms, but not through affecting neuromuscular junction transmission.…”

“…MG includes early-onset myasthenia gravis (EOMG) and late-onset MG (LOMG), generally defined by a cut-off age of 65 years [ [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] ].
