Neurotrophic Receptor Tyrosine Kinase or NTRK is a superfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases[1] these are protein-encoding genes that may be linked to myalgic encephalomyelitis/
NTRK1[edit | edit source]
Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase Receptor 1 is one of the NTKR family of protein-encoding genes.[3]
ME/CFS[edit | edit source]
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".[2] 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.[2]
