In Reply.— Harpey and Renault postulate a relationship between the uvula, obstructive sleep apnea, and sudden infant death syndrome. Although I believe that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome may be one of the mechanisms leading to sudden infant death syndrome, this speculation is extremely controversial. I do concur with Harpey and Renault that obstructive sleep apnea can trigger esophageal reflux. A segment from a sleep recording of a 9-week-old, full-term infant with near-miss sudden infant death syndrome is presented in the Figure.

Abstract Background Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and (at least a fraction of) sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) are associated with impaired respiration. For OSA, an association with several gene variants was identified. Therefore, our hypothesis is that these polymorphisms might be of relevance in SIDS as well. Methods Twenty-four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 21 candidate genes connected to OSA, were genotyped in a total of 282 SIDS cases and 374 controls. Additionally, subgroups based on factors codetermining the SIDS risk (age, sex, season, and prone position) were established and compared as well. Results Two of the analyzed SNPs showed nominally significant differences between SIDS and control groups: rs1042714 in ADRB2 (adrenoceptor beta 2) and rs1800541 in EDN1 (endothelin 1). In the subgroup analyses, 10 further SNPs gave significant results. Nevertheless, these associations did not survive adjustment for multiple testing. Conclusions Our results suggest that there might be a link between SIDS and OSA and its resulting respiratory and cardiovascular problems, albeit this predisposition might be dependent on the combination with other, hitherto unknown gene variants. These findings may encourage replication studies to get a better understanding of this connection.

Twenty-nine full-term near miss for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and 30 normal control infants underwent 24-hour polygraphic monitoring. Several types of respiratory events during sleep (eg, central, mixed, and obstructive apnea, periodic breathing) were defined and tabulated. Analysis of these respiratory variables and comparison of groups of near miss and control infants indicated that between 3 weeks and 4½ months of age only one variable was consistently different at a statistically significant level: the number of mixed and obstructive apnea 3 seconds during total sleep time. This study also showed an increase in mixed and obstructive respiratory events during sleep at 6 weeks of age in control as well as in near miss infants.
