Yes, that paper is posted here somewhere. ( on the Peripheral Neuropathy forum )
It begs the question as to how many other drugs will unmask reveal CMT in otherwise symptom free people.
It is very difficult to find lists of PN triggers that are inclusive.
When I search for them, they all differ in some way.
And the sporadic papers of B6 "toxicity" never give lab range of that patient mentioned either. It is possible it is so high because of calibration limits, etc. I only found one paper mentioning what dose the patient was taking.
