AB  - Myasthenia  gravis  is  a  neuromuscular  disorder  affecting  synaptic  transmission  at  the  motor  end  plate.  It  is  characterized  by  abnormal  muscle  fatigability  and  can  be  either  genetic  or  acquired.  Infants  born  with  the  genetic  form  of  the  disease  (very  rare)  are  born  to  healthy  mothers  and  suffer  permanent  disability.  Transient  neonatal  myasthenia  gravis  (TNMG)  is  an  acquired  form  of  the  disease  that  occurs  only  in  infants  born  to  mothers  with  myasthenia  gravis  and  is  the  predominant  type  and  is  discussed  here.
