Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Serotonin (5-HT) in the nervous system is a major factor in facilitation of the brain center for respiration. Variations in the promoter region of the 5-HT transporter (5-HTT) gene have been shown to potentially regulate 5-HT activity in the brain. Therefore, we aimed to identify the possibility that specific allele variants of the 5-HTT gene can be found as a genetic background for sudden infant death...
