ADELAIDE, Australia, June 18 (UPI) -- Amyloid Precursor Protein may cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and scientists in Australia and Denmark said they'll work together to find out.
The research will be led by Roger Byard of the University of Adelaide in Australia and will involve analysis of brain tissue from 200 children who died of SIDS.
The researchers will look for the presence of APP, which accumulates in the brain when neurons are damaged. If they find it, the scientists said the discovery will help them understand the cause of SIDS, but they cautioned a cure and a predictive diagnostic test are still in the future.
Byard said researchers now believe that SIDS is not just one problem but can be triggered by a variety of different factors to which predisposed infants react.
The research will be funded by SIDS and Kids SA. Preliminary work on SIDS and APP by Byard's team is published in the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology.
