Description The importance of acetylcholine receptor(AChR) antibody titers in ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) is scarcely studied. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the association between AChR antibody titers and conversion to generalized myasthenia gravis(GMG), presence of thyroid autoimmune antibodies, and presence of thymoma in subjects with positive AChR antibody OMG.
