Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA (NTRK1) cause congenital sensory neuropathy with insensitivity to pain and anhydrosis (CIPA), also called hereditary sensory and autonomous neuropathy type IV (HSAN IV). The neuronal splice variant of TrkA, TrkAII, binds two neurotrophin ligands, nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT3). Several studies have demonstrated NGF signaling defects...
