Abstract

The present invention relates to methods for determining predisposition to apparent life-threatening events (ALTE) (also referred to as ''acute life threatening episodes'') and / or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and in particular to methods of assessing potential susceptibility to development of ALTE and / or SIDS by determining a subject's total IgA and / or IgA1 level.

Description

field of invention

[0001] The present invention relates to methods for determining susceptibility to life-threatening acute exacerbation (ALTE) and / or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), in particular to assess potential susceptibility to developing ALTE and / or SIDS by measuring total IgA and / or IgAl in a subject Methods. Background of the invention

[0002] Much effort has been made to minimize the risk of SIDS involving infant care through nonspecific approaches. However, methods of prevention using specific tests involving etiological mechanisms have not been developed to date. With routine awareness and if used in conjunction with nonspecific care, it is expected that the identification of etiological mechanisms will have an important impact on the outcome of SIDS. Developing new methods to identify infants at risk of SIDS could have a very significant impact.

[0003] Interest in methods of preventing SIDS was aroused by the occasional observation of "predicted" cas...
