Description : Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a diagnosis of exclusion which should be made
only after a thorough autopsy without identification of a specific cause of death
(Mage and Donner, 2004). Weese-Mayer et al. (2007) provided a detailed review of genetic
factors that have been implicated in SIDS. The authors concluded that SIDS represents
more than 1 entity and has a heterogeneous etiology most likely involving several
different genetically controlled metabolic pathways.;
Inheritance : ? Autosomal recessive form vs. multifactorial;
