Abstract excerpt
AIM: Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have been proposed as a genetic risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The aim of this study was to further investigate this issue, by sequencing the mitochondrial tRNA genes with flanking regions in SIDS cases and controls. METHOD: The selected genes were investigated in 24 cases of SIDS and 10 controls, the method used were direct sequencing. In addition,...
