Genes identified to date for which the distribution of polymorphisms differs in victims of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) compared with control infants
| Corresponding phenotypes are known for SCN5A and can be inferred at least in part for complement C4 and interleukin 10. We know very little, however, about corresponding phenotypes for the ANS genes, and even less for the 5-HTT polymorphisms (see text for references). |
| Sodium channel gene (SCN5A) |
| Promoter region of serotonin transporter protein (5-HTT) gene |
| Genes pertinent to development of autonomic |
| nervous system (ANS): |
| Paired-like homoeobox 2a (PHOX2a) |
| Rearranged during transfection factor (RET) |
| Endothelin converting enzyme-1 (ECE1) |
| T-cell leukaemia homoeobox (TLX3) |
| Engrailed-1 (EN1) |
| Complement C4A and C4B genes |
| Interleukin 10 gene polymorphisms |
