About this trial

This is a multicenter genetic study aimed at identifying new genes/variants associated with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) based on whole-genome sequencing of family trios

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Child included in the French SUDI registry with effective participation in the biocollection

Children who also meet the inclusion criteria for the BIOMINRISK-NEUROBIO (axis 2) and BIOMINRISK-RADIO-ANAT (axis 3) studies in the overall BIOMINRISK project.

Biological parents of the child included in the BIOMINRISK study

Parents who have both signed the consent form for blood collection and inclusion of their samples in the biocollection

Disqualifiers

Presence of a known metabolic, genetic or syndromic pathology at the time of death

Parent under guardianship

Presence of a known metabolic, genetic or syndromic pathology

Trial population

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.
