US: Study identifies potential biomarker for SIDS, but a test for it is a long way off
CNN – May 13, 2022
Australian researchers say they’ve identified one potential biomarker for sudden infant death syndrome, known as SIDS, but experts caution that it’s just one piece of the puzzle. About 3,400 babies die from SIDS in the US each year. There is no immediate or obvious cause of death, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts don’t know which babies are at risk for SIDS or what causes it.
