Abstract excerpt
Point mutations affecting the NTRK1/TRKA gene, encoding one of the receptors for the nerve growth factor (NGF), have been detected in congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA), a human hereditary sensory neuropathy characterized by absence of reaction to noxious stimuli and anhidrosis. To define the defect of NTRK1 in CIPA patients, we have introduced one of the previously reported mutations...
