Sudden Infant Death syndrome (SIDS) is a diagnosis of exclusion. Decades of research have made steady gains in understanding plausible mechanisms of terminal events. Current evidence suggests SIDS includes heterogeneous biological conditions, such as metabolic, cardiac, neurologic, respiratory, and infectious conditions. Here we review genetic studies that address each of these areas in SIDS cases and cohorts, providing a broad view of the genetic underpinnings of this devastating phenomenon. Th ...[more]
