Charcot disease can refer to several diseases named for Jean-Martin Charcot, such as: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a degenerative muscle disease also known as Charcot disease or Lou Gehrig's disease; Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, an inherited demyelinating disease of the peripheral nervous system
The signs and symptoms of hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1 typically appear during a person's teens or twenties. While the features of this disorder tend to worsen over time, affected individuals have a normal life expectancy if signs and symptoms are properly treated. Type 1 is the most common form among the 5 types of HSAN.
Dejerine–Sottas disease, also known as, Dejerine–Sottas syndrome, [3] 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.
