Abstract:
Gm and Km allotypes were examined in 29 myasthenia gravis patients with a thymoma and non-receptor skeletal muscle antibodies. The frequency of the phenotype Gm1,2,3;23;5,21 was significantly higher in the patients than in 292 healthy controls (P less than 0.01). Km allotype frequencies did not differ in patients and controls.
