These mutations are located in different domains of the protein; L213P in the extracellular domain, Δ736 in the kinase domain, and C300stop in the extracellular domain, a new mutation causing CIPA diagnosed in a Spanish teenager.
The Gly571Arg mutation, associated with the autonomic and sensory disorder congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, causes the inactivation of the NTRK1/nerve growth factor receptor.
Here we report four homozygous mutations, two frameshift (p.Gln626fsX6 and p.Gly181fsX58), one missense (p.Arg761Trp) and one splice site (c.359+5G>T) mutation in four HSAN IV patients.
