Autoimmune disorders
People with myasthenia gravis are more likely to develop other autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and autoimmune thyroid disease.

Patients with thymoma MG have an increased risk of developing other cancers, such as lymphoma, breast cancer, and lung cancer.
Heart disease
Patients with thymoma MG and late onset MG may develop cardiomyositis and subclinical heart dysfunction.
Respiratory tract infections
Severe muscle weakness from myasthenia gravis can increase the risk of respiratory failure and respiratory tract infections.

Gene variations that affect immune system function may increase the risk of developing myasthenia gravis and other autoimmune disorders.
