Dejerine–Sottas disease, also known as, Dejerine–Sottas syndrome,{{Cite journal | last1 = Satran | first1 = R. | title = Dejerine-Sottas Disease Revisited | doi = 10.1001/archneur.1980.00500510025002 | journal = Archives of Neurology | volume = 37 | issue = 2 | pages = 67–68 | year = 1980 | pmid = 7356409}} hereditary motor and sensory polyneuropathy type III, and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 3, is a hereditary neurological disorder characterized by damage to the peripheral nerves, demyelination, and resulting progressive muscle wasting and somatosensory loss. The condition is caused by mutations in various genes and currently has no known cure.{{cite web |url=http://www.mdausa.org/disease/ds.html|title= Dejerine-Sottas Disease |author= Muscular Dystrophy Association |year= 2012 |access-date=7 May 2012| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120104173928/http://www.mdausa.org/disease/ds.html |archive-date=4 January 2012}}
The disorder is named for Joseph Jules Dejerine and Jules Sottas, French neurologists who first described it.{{WhoNamedIt|synd|1736}}{{cite journal|first1=J.

Signs and symptoms
Onset occurs in infancy or early childhood, usually before three years of age. Progression is slow until the teenage years at which point it may accelerate, resulting in severe disability.{{cite book|first1=Bruno|last1=Bissonnette|first2=Igor|last2=Luginbuehl|first3=Thomas|last3=Engelhardt|title=Dejerine-Sottas Syndrome|url=http://accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1164067673|publisher=McGraw-Hill Education|year= 2019 |location=New York, NY|via=Access Medicine}}
Symptoms are more severe and rapidly progressive than in the other more common Charcot–Marie–Tooth diseases. Some patients may never walk and will be reliant on wheelchair use by the end of their first decade, while others may need only a cane, crutches, or similar support through most of their lives, but this is rare.
Dejerine–Sottas disease is characterized by moderate to severe lower and upper extremity weakness and loss of sensation, mainly in the lower legs, forearms, feet, and hands. Loss of muscle mass and reduced muscle tone usually occur as the disease progresses. Other symptoms may include pain in the extremities, curvature of the spine, clawed hands, foot deformities, ataxia, peripheral areflexia, and slow acquisition of motor skills in childhood. Symptoms that are less common can include limitation of eye movements, other eye problems such as nystagmus or anisocoria, or moderate to severe hearing loss.
Causes
Dejerine–Sottas neuropathy is caused by a genetic defect either in the proteins found in axons or the proteins found in myelin. Specifically, it has been associated with mutations in MPZ,{{cite journal |vauthors=Hayasaka K, Himoro M, Sawaishi Y |title=De novo mutation of the myelin P0 gene in Dejerine-Sottas disease (hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type III) |journal=Nat.

The disorder is inherited in an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive manner.
Diagnosis
On medical imaging, the peripheral and cranial nerves are enlarged by redundant connective tissue. On histology, this enlargement gives the nerves the appearance of an onion-bulb. Nerve excitability and conduction speed are reduced.
