Some case reports have explored the diaphragmatic compound muscle action potential (DCMAP) amplitudes in patients with MG using single\u2010stimulus phrenic nerve conduction studies.

Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that DCMAP amplitude &lt;\u2009256\u2009\u03bcV distinguished gMG from OMG with 71.7% sensitivity and 93.3% specificity.
