It is caused when an error occurs in the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles. It eventually disrupts the normal communication between the nerve and muscle at the neuromuscular junction. |
It is caused when the body’s own immune response becomes hyperactive. It is an autoimmune disease and the body’s immune system erroneously attacks healthy tissue in many parts of the body. |
