Scientists hunt for hidden genes behind sudden infant death
NCT ID NCT06244433
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the DNA of 650 infants who died suddenly and their parents to find genetic changes that may raise the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). By comparing the genes of the baby and both parents, researchers hope to discover new genetic variants linked to these tragic events. The goal is to better understand why some infants die unexpectedly and, in the future, help identify babies at higher risk.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The population included will consist of infants who died in the context of SUDI and both their parents. These cases of SUDI will come from the French SUDI registry, which records all cases of SUDI occurring in children under 2 years of age throughout France via a network of referral centers for the management of SUDI.
- Ages
