BACKGROUND: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been commonly used to treat myasthenia gravis exacerbation, but is still ineffective in nearly 30% of patients. A variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the FCGRT gene has been found to reduce the efficiency of IgG biologics. However...
