Tests
MPV stands for mean platelet volume. Platelets (also called thrombocytes) are small blood cells that stick together to make blood clots that stop or slow bleeding when you have a cut or injury. Platelets are made in your bone marrow.

Glossary Term
Any transmissible change in the genetic material of an organism, which can result from radiation, viral infection, transposition, treatment with mutagenic chemicals and errors during DNA replication or meiosis. The effects of mutation range from single base changes to loss or gain of complete chromosomes. As many of the simpler alterations to DNA may be repaired, such changes are only heritable once the change is fixed in the DNA by the process of replication. Mutations may be associated with genetic diversity or with pathologies including cancer.
Tests
Myasthenia gravis (MG) tests are used to diagnose MG, a chronic (long-lasting) autoimmune disease that causes weakness in muscles throughout your body. In autoimmune diseases, your immune system mistakenly attacks the healthy cells of your organs and tissues. If you have MG, your immune system makes antibodies that block or change the connection between your nerves and muscles.
