Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 2 (NTRK2) is a gene that encodes a protein in the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family that participates in the MAP kinase signaling pathway. Fusions, missense, nonsense, and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

NTRK2 is altered in 1.43% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, and melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

NTRK2 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in NTRK2 are NTRK2 Mutation (1.25%), NTRK2 Loss (0.04%), NTRK2 Fusion (0.05%), NTRK2 Amplification (0.04%), and NTRK2 V606I (0.04%) [3].
