The presence of antibodies against muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) appears to define a subgroup of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) characterized by weakness predominant in bulbar, facial and neck muscles compared with anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody-positive MG. To investigate the patterns and severity of neuromuscular transmission failure in different muscles in MuSK-positive MG, we performed single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) in the facial (frontalis) and limb (extensor digitorum communis, EDC) muscles in three anti-Musk-positive patients, and compared results with those of 11 anti-AChR-positive patients. Only one of the three MuSK-positive patients had abnormal jitter in EDC, but all the three showed clearly increased jitter in the frontalis. By contrast, the AChR-positive patients showed similarly abnormal jitter for the two muscles. These results suggest that when the diagnosis of anti-MuSK-positive MG is suspected, SFEMG should be performed in most prominently affected muscles.
