The Role of Osteopontin and Its Gene on Glucocorticoid Response in Myasthenia Gravis

The Role of Osteopontin and Its Gene on Glucocorticoid Response in Myasthenia Gravis

Biomarkers that assess treatment response for patients with the autoimmune disorder, myasthenia gravis (MG), have not been evaluated to a significant extent. We hypothesized the pro-inflammatory cytokine, osteopontin (OPN), may be associated with variability of response to glucocorticoids (GCs) in p...
