We describe a 1-year-old infant who had tooth loss and palmar hyperkeratosis as the primary manifestations of CIPA. He was initially evaluated by a pediatric dentist and epidermal dysplasia syndromes were considered, but insensitivity to pain was suspected after a skeletal survey revealed an unrecognized skull fracture. Nerve conduction studies were normal, as was his response to subdermal histamine injection. Sequence analysis of his NTRK1 gene revealed 2 mutations: 1 mutation is novel, while the other has been described previously in a patient of northern European descent. An antibody directed against NTRK1 revealed persistent expression in keratinocytes, consistent with the mutations in this patient. Skin biopsy specimens revealed a lack of epidermal and sweat gland innervation. Immunohistochemistry of skin biopsy specimens, together with routine nerve conduction studies, can provide quick and reliable confirmation if CIPA is clinically suspected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.112.3.e237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,14]],"date-time":"2004-08-14T00:43:47Z","timestamp":1092444227000},"page":"e237-e241","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["An Infant With Primary Tooth Loss and Palmar Hyperkeratosis: A Novel Mutation in the <i>NTRK1<\/i> Gene Causing Congenital Insensitivity to Pain With Anhidrosis"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"112","author":[{"given":"Joshua L.","family":"Bonkowsky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justine","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John C.","family":"Carey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
