GSE245891 Transcriptomic analysis of neuroinflammation and occult infection in sudden infant death syndrome

Contributor : Benjamin OkatySeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensAntemortem infection is a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) – the leading postneonatal cause of infant mortality in the developed world. Manifestations of infection and attendant inflammation, however, are not always apparent in clinical settings or by standard autopsy, thus enhanced resolution approaches are needed. Here we screened postmortem SIDS tissue s and fluids for inflammatory markers and applied metagenomics and transcriptomics to a subset of cases to look for evidence of occult infection and inflammation.
