Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer. It starts in skin cells called melanocytes. These are cells that give skin its color. Melanoma is much less common than other types of skin cancer that start in other skin cells. But it's more likely to spread to other parts of the body.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks its own neuromuscular connections. This causes problems with communication between nerves and muscle. The result is weakness. MG affects the voluntary muscles of the body. The eyes, mouth, throat, and limbs are especially affected.

MG can occur at any age. This includes childhood. But it occurs most often in young adult women under age 40 and men over age 60.
