Gender differences in Myasthenia Gravis in a neuromuscular reference center in Belgium
Women experience more limitations due to MG than men and may face a more severe disease course. These differences should be taken into account when determining follow-up and treatment strategies. Additionally, these findings highlight the importance of segregating data by gender in scientific studies to better understand gender-specific differences in disease presentation and management.
