text: The exact cause is unknown, though research suggests that SIDS may be due in part to defects of the area of an infant’s brain that controls breathing and arousal from sleep.
text: Recently many researchers believe that SIDS is due to multiple factors not always related and medical conditions that have as a common denominator a low blood oxygen level and a diminish capability of some babies to wake up after experiencing low blood oxygen levels due to several factors that include hypoxia, sleeping in areas with low ventilation or high concentration of carbon dioxide.
text: Mage and Donner (2004) suggested that SIDS may be due to an X-linked recessive allele that is only unmasked in the presence of several risk factors, including low-grade infection, apnea, anemia, prone sleep position, or neurologic prematurity.
text: It is proposed that SIDS is due in part to hypovitaminosis A through one of several mechanisms: imbalanced basicranial growth producing mechanical constriction on the respiratory nerves passing through the jugular foramen; or through compromised myelination and/or maturation of the brain stem and cranial nerves involved in respiration; or through pharyngeal collapse due to mandibular undergrowth; or dysfunction of hypoxia-sensitive epithelial cells in the trachea.
