A study of more than 100 unexplained pediatric deaths showed pathogenic gene variations in 12% of cases.
A genetic test known as chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) could help identify the cause of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or its counterpart in older children, known as sudden unexplained death in childhood (SUDC), finds a study led by Boston Children's Hospital.
Findings implicate copy number variants (CNVs) in the development of childhood psychosis. Researchers recommend chromosomal array testing for children with psychosis.
