Descriptor English: Neuromuscular Junction Diseases
Descriptor Spanish: Enfermedades de la Unión Neuromuscular
Descriptor enfermedades de la unión neuromuscular
Scope note: Afecciones caracterizadas por trastornos en la trasmisión de impulsos de la UNIÓN NEUROMUSCULAR. Puede ser el resultado de trastornos que afectan a la función del receptor, de la función de la membrana pre- o postsináptica, o de la actividad de la ACETILCOLINESTERASA. La mayoría de las enfermedades de esta categoría se asocian con afecciones autoinmunes, tóxicas o congénitas.
