Description

AChR antibodies and striated muscle antibodies have been detected in patients with Myasthenia gravis (MG), thymoma without neurological symptoms, and in patients with other autoimmune diseases, including, for example, Lambert-Eaton disease, myasthenic syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Graves disease, and autoimmune liver disease.

AChR antibodies are further characterized into three categories; binding, blocking, and modulating.
ACHR-binding antibodies are detected in 90% of patients with severe, generalized MG, and 50% of patients with ocular MG. ACHR-modulating antibodies and ACHR-blocking antibodies are detected in approximately 65% to 70% of MG patients. Source: ARUP Laboratories
