Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) occurs unpredictably and remains unexplained after scene investigation and autopsy. Approximately 1 in 7 cases of SUID can be related to a cardiac cause, and developmental regulation of cardiac ion channel genes may contribute to SUID. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to investigate the developmental changes in the spliceoforms of SCN5A and KCNQ1, 2 genes...
