title: The neuropathy of Dejerine and Sottas: report of an Indian family.
abstract: We report here a family in which 4 out of 11 sibs of unrelated parents showed the typical clinical features of Dejerine-Sottas disease. Sensory disturbance was present in only one case and age at onset was delayed to 4 years in another. The others all conformed to the infantile form of the disease. This is the first time in which mental retardation has been reported in this disorder.
