Several conditions can impair Schwann cells, leading to neurological deficits. These conditions include:
Guillain-Barre Syndrome: An autoimmune disorder where the body attacks Schwann cells, leading to muscle weakness and paralysis. Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease: A hereditary disorder affecting the peripheral nerves, often linked to Schwann cell dysfunction. Peripheral Neuropathy: Commonly seen in diabetes, where Schwann cell damage leads to sensory and motor deficits.
