Association of dopamine transporter and monoamine oxidase molecular polymorphisms with sudden infant death syndrome and stillbirth: new insights into the serotonin hypothesis.

Abstract excerpt

Recent findings demonstrated the role of neurotransmitters in the aetiopathogenesis of sudden unexpected deaths in infancy. Although genes involved in serotonin metabolism have been proposed as risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), the contribution of additional neurotransmitters and genes different from the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4, 5-HTT) has not been investigated. Considering the common...
