Graves disease is an autoimmune disease that results in which maternal antibody?

B) Affecting the receptor for TSH, causing neonatal hyperthyroidism
C) Inducing anomalies in the fetus or causing pregnancy loss
D) Destroying platelets in the fetus and neonate

Graves disease is an autoimmune disease in which maternal antibody against the receptor for TSH causes neonatal hyperthyroidism.Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease in which maternal antibody binds with receptors for neural transmitters on muscle cells (acetylcholine receptors),causing neonatal muscular weakness.Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease in which diverse maternal autoantibodies induce anomalies (e.g.,congenital heart defects)in the fetus or cause pregnancy loss.Immune thrombocytopenic purpura causes both autoimmune and alloimmune variants to occur,during which maternal antiplatelet antibody destroys platelets in the fetus and neonate.
