Schwann cells (shwahn) are the cells that wrap around the axons of peripheral nerves to form the myelin sheath, the insulation that lets nerve signals travel quickly. Several forms of CMT, including CMT1A and HNPP, arise from mutations that disrupt the instructions Schwann cells use to build peripheral nerve myelin.

Evidence failed not because it was wrong, but because it was weaponized. I lived the downstream effects of that failure for more than a decade. This is what happens when medicine forgets that data always ends in a human being.
