National Association of Medical Examiners Position Paper: Retaining Postmortem Samples for Genetic Testing

2013-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Sudden unexpected death is typically diagnosed in infants, children, teenagers, and young adults following completion of an autopsy that fails to identify a cause of death or when autopsy suggests a potentially genetic cause of death in an individual less than 40, such as cardiomyopathy or aneurysm. Such deaths may be a result of genetic abnormalities that are unable to be diagnosed by gross or microscopic inspect...
