Corresponding author.Abstract |
Understanding the epidemiology and etiology of sudden and unexplained infant death requires a thorough multiprofessional investigation. This article describes the approach to such investigations developed and implemented in the United Kingdom. The authors also review current knowledge of the epidemiology and contributory factors to sudden infant deaths, together with the current understanding of the role played by interactions between common genetic polymorphisms, developmental physiology, and environmental factors.
