rich 1.0 Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. In this Mind Moments episode, Sarah Hoffmann, MD, PhD, senior neurologist at Charité – University Medicine Berlin, provides clinical insight into the evolving and often challenging landscape of seronegative generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). Drawing from both clinical experience and research, Hoffmann discusses how seronegative MG is defined in the absence of detectable antibodies and why it represents a heterogeneous and often underrecognized subgroup of patients. The conversation explores key diagnostic challenges, particularly in patients with limb-predominant symptoms, where differentiation from other neuromuscular or functional disorders can be difficult. Hoffmann also reviews current treatment approaches, noting that while standard therapies mirror antibody-positive MG, access to targeted treatments remains limited. Additional discussion focuses on the barriers to advancing clinical trials in this population, the need for reliable biomarkers to better stratify patients, and the importance of continually reassessing diagnosis in nonresponders to avoid both undertreatment and overtreatment.
