Natural and Undetermined Sudden Death: Value of Post-Mortem Genetic Investigation
BACKGROUND Sudden unexplained death may be the first manifestation of an unknown inherited cardiac disease. Current genetic technologies may enable the unraveling of an etiology and the identification of relatives at risk. The aim of our study was to define the etiology of natural deaths, younger than 50 years of age, and to investigate whether genetic defects associated with cardiac diseases c...

متن کاملPost-mortem Investigation of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy: Role of Autopsy in Classification of Death
E.E. Turk (ed.), Forensic Pathology Reviews, Volume 6, Forensic Pathology Reviews 6, DOI 10.1007/978-1-61779-249-6_2, © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 Abstract Sudden unexpected deaths in infancy (SUDI) represent the commonest group of post-neonatal childhood deaths. Pathologists in the UK are currently recommended to follow the “Kennedy protocol” when performing such autopsies. This...
متن کاملUtility of Post-Mortem Genetic Testing in Cases of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome
BACKGROUND Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) describes a sudden death with negative autopsy and toxicological analysis. Cardiac genetic disease is a likely etiology. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the clinical utility and combined yield of post-mortem genetic testing (molecular autopsy) in cases of SADS and comprehensive clinical evaluation of surviving relatives. METHODS We evalu...
متن کاملPost-mortem genetic analysis in juvenile cases of sudden cardiac death.
BACKGROUND The reason behind a sudden death of a young individual remains unknown in up to 50% of postmortem cases. Pathogenic mutations in genes encoding heart proteins are known to cause sudden cardiac death. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to ascertain whether genetic alterations could provide an explanation for sudden cardiac death in a juvenile cohort with no-conclusive cause of death...
