The diagnosis was established based on clinical symptoms, molecular-genetic testing, electromyography data, magnetic resonance imaging of the lower limb muscles, and blood creatine phosphokinase activity. DNA analysis using the next-generation sequencing «Large neurological panel» (Genomed laboratory, Moscow) yielded data supporting the presence of a deletion of the X chromosome segment with approximate boundaries 31323344-32809866 and a size of 1.486.522 bp, encompassing regions of the OMIM-annotated <i>DMD</i> gene. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) using commercial kits SALSA MLPA Probemix P034-DMDI and P035-DMD2 (MRC-Holland) was performed to search for deletions/duplications of exons 1-79 of the DMD gene. As a result of the analysis, a deletion of exons 7-62 of the DMD gene in a heterozygous state was identified. Thus, the presence of the deletion was confirmed by the reference method. DNA analysis was conducted to detect skewed X-chromosome inactivation.

Treatment of MG aims to stop the symptoms and inhibit the triggers of the autoimmune process. For a long time, MG treatment included anticholinesterase agents and nonspecific immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory therapies used alone or in combinations: glucocorticosteroids, cytostatics, plasmapheresis, and intravenous immunoglobulin. Despite the fact that the above drugs are widely used in the treatment of MG, they can cause unacceptable side effects with long-term use and also are not consistent in induction of remission. The search for new effective and safe therapies for MG, especially refractory types that do not respond to standard therapy, is an urgent task. Due to advances in biotechnology and the emergence of new types of drugs, monoclonal antibodies or fusion proteins, targeted MG immunotherapy has been developed for specific pathogenetic targets. The presented review describes targeted MG therapies that are already approved In Russia and other countries, as well as those at different stages of development.
