Myasthenia gravis may be classified into 3 subtypes based on presence of autoantibodies.
Pure ocular form
Generalized form with anti-AChR antibodies
- Early onset myasthenia gravis (onset of the disease before the age of 50 (EOMG))
- Late onset myasthenia gravis (onset of the disease after the age of 50 (LOMG))
The forms without classical anti-AChR antibodies
- The form with anti-anti-MuSK antibodies
- The form with anti-LRP4 antibodies
- The form with clustered AChR antibodies
