autoimmune myasthenia gravis is a rare chronic condition. The antibody-mediated autoimmune illness, which is now incurable, is characterized by global voluntary skeletal muscular weakening. The defect at the neuromuscular junction level, where autoimmune antibodies block the receptors responsible for initiating muscle contraction, is the cause of the weakening. Myasthenia gravis literally translates to "grave muscle weakness" thanks to its Latin and Greek etymological roots. Fortunately, advances in modern medicine have led to a reduction in the genuinely "grave" effects for people affected, but the disease's gravity still exists in the absence of a treatment.
