It has been estimated that 5 % to 10 % of infants who die from SIDS have novel mutations in the cardiac sodium or potassium channel genes that result in long QT syndrome as well as in other genes that regulate channel function.44 A recent report described important new molecular and functional evidence that implicates specific SCN5A (sodium channel gene) β subunits in SIDS pathogenesis.47 The identification of polymorphisms in genes pertinent to the embryologic origin of the autonomic nervous system in SIDS cases also lends support to the hypothesis that a genetic predisposition contributes to the etiology of SIDS.

Taken together, the researchers wrote, the findings suggest that an abnormality in serotonin metabolism could indicate an underlying vulnerability that increases SIDS risk and that testing blood samples for serotonin could distinguish certain SIDS cases from other infant deaths.

However, such soft bedding can increase the potential of suffocation and rebreathing.54, 56,57,179, — , 181 Pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, and other soft surfaces are hazardous when placed under the infant62, 147,182, — , 187 or left loose in the infant's sleep area62, 65,184,185,188, — , 191 and can increase SIDS risk up to fivefold independent of sleep position.62, 147 Several reports have also described that in many SIDS cases, the heads of the infants, including some infants who slept supine, were covered by loose bedding.65, 186,187,191 It should be noted that the risk of SIDS increases 21-fold when the infant is placed prone with soft bedding.62 In addition, soft and loose bedding have both been associated with accidental suffocation deaths.149 The CPSC has reported that the majority of sleep - related infant deaths in its database are attributable to suffocation involving pillows, quilts, and extra bedding.192, 193 The AAP recommends that infants sleep on a firm surface without any soft or loose bedding.
