Abstract

Hereditary motor-sensory neuropathy type III (HMSN III) (Dejerine-Sottas disease) is a severe demyelinating neuropathy that is traditionally considered autosomal recessive. We report a father and daughter diagnosed with HMSN III by clinical, electrophysiologic, and pathologic criteria, thus showing that it may be transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion in selected families.
