See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We demonstrate a higher sensitivity of AChR antibody testing than previously reported in the largest cohort of patients with OMG available to date. Older age, male sex, and progression to generalized myasthenia gravis were significantly associated with a positive antibody test result. In addition, to our knowledge, this is the first report of an associated between high AChR antibody levels and progression from OMG to generalized disease.
