Abstract excerpt
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) occurs more often in male than in female infants, suggesting involvement of the X-chromosome. Histopathological studies have suggested that altered expression of the Neurokinin-1 receptor may also play a role in the pathogenesis of SIDS. It was hypothesised that genetic variants in three X-chromosome-encoded microRNA (miRNA/miR), known to down-regulate expression of the...
