BACKGROUND: Based on findings in the brain stems of SIDS victims, the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene has been discussed to be associated with SIDS. METHODS: In the largest study to date, we investigated the promoter length (5-HTTLPR) and intron 2 VNTR polymorphisms in 274 cases and 264 controls and the Ile425Val polymorphism in 65 cases and 64 controls. Moreover, the methylation of the internal promoter...
