How Diagnostic Delays in gMG Impact Disease Severity, Outcomes, and Quality of Life

Guest: John A. Morren, MD, FAAN, FAANEM The symptom variability, prolonged asymptomatic periods, and inconsistent presentations of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) often lead to significant diagnostic delays and misdiagnoses. Based on recent studies, these delays then correlate with increased disease severity, longer time to symptom control, and worsened quality of life. Here to help uncover the hidden toll of diagnostic delays on patients with gMG is Dr. John Morren. He’s the Program Director of the Neuromuscular Medicine Fellowship at Cleveland Clinic and an Associate Professor of Neurology at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University.
