NTRK3 and neoplasm: For instance, as a malignant embryonal tumour of neural crest cells, it seems that early disruption of normal developmental processes, constitutional chromosomal rearrangements (16p12-13, 1p36, 11q14-23), abnormal expression of the neurotrophin receptors (NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 encoding TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC) and their ligands (NGF, BDNF, and neurotrophin-3), and some exposures in pregnancy are all strongly related to the pathogenetic mechanisms of neuroblastoma [53].
