Clinical significance of <i>NTRK</i> family gene expression in neuroblastomas
11 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neuroblastomas (NBs) are characterized by clinical heterogeneity, from spontaneous regression to relentless progression. The pattern of NTRK family gene expression contributes to these disparate behaviors. TrkA/NTRK1 is expressed in favorable NBs that regress or differentiate, whereas TrkB/NTRK2 and its ligand brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are co-expressed in unfavorable NBs, representing...
