96. The architectural layout of the myelin membrane shows an unusually high lipid-to-protein ratio (4:1), containing specific glycolipids like galactocerebrosides. A targeted autoimmune response against these nervous system glycolipids causes

A. Duchenne muscular dystrophy
B. Multiple sclerosis or Guillain-Barré syndrome variants
✓
C. Type 1 diabetes mellitus
D. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)

📝 Explanation

Autoimmune attacks targeting myelin glycolipids or associated proteins disrupt the structural layout of the myelin sheath, impairing nerve signal conduction.
