NTRK

Neurotrophic Receptor Tyrosine Kinase or NTRK is a superfamily of receptor tyrosine kinaseshttps://books.google.co.uk/books?id=MF_kmIWZRrMC&lpg=PA654&dq=NTRK%20Neurotrophic%20receptor%20tyrosine%20kinase&pg=PA654#v=onepage&q=NTRK%20Neurotrophic%20receptor%20tyrosine%20kinase&f=true these are protein-encoding genes that may be linked to myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome.

NTRK1
Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase Receptor 1 is one of the NTKR family of protein-encoding genes. https://www.genecards.org/cgi-bin/carddisp.pl?gene=NTRK1

ME/CFS
Almenar-Pérez et al (2020) found that NTRK appeared to be affected in patients with severe ME/CFS, which could relate to "symptoms such as cognitive disability and sensorial dysfunctions (altered pain sensitivity)44". In this small study of patients with severe ME, NTRK1 levels were found to be significantly higher in the severely ill patients compared to healthy controls.
