Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is still too poorly understood for this to have a definitive answer. There has been a myriad of studies on the causation of SIDS, and many links have been found in both environmental and genetic factors, yet the results are still inconclusive.
In most cases, apnea is purely a mechanical suspension of breathing, meaning it isn't a disease that could be genetic or pathogen-borne.

What is another word for inherited traits?
Genetic characteristics.
Is biopolar a condition you are born with or is it inherited?
Bipolar disorder is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While there is a genetic component to bipolar disorder, it is not solely inherited and other factors can influence its development.
Which of the twins has inherited more traits from their respective fathers?
It is difficult to determine which twin has inherited more traits from their respective fathers without specific information about the traits and genetic makeup of each father. Genetic inheritance is a complex process and traits can be inherited from both parents in varying degrees.
Is AML hereditary?
While acute myeloid leukemia (AML) itself is not directly hereditary, there are inherited genetic conditions that can increase the risk of developing AML, such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome or Down syndrome. These inherited conditions can predispose individuals to developing AML later in life. However, most cases of AML occur sporadically without a clear genetic cause.
What is the significance of genetic relationships in understanding inherited traits and diseases?
Genetic relationships are important in understanding inherited traits and diseases because they help us identify how traits are passed down from one generation to the next. By studying genetic relationships, scientists can determine the likelihood of certain traits or diseases being passed on within families. This knowledge is crucial for predicting and managing inherited conditions, as well as developing treatments and interventions for genetic diseases.
Are SIDS and apnea related?
SIDS is not the same as apnea. Many people have apnea and apnea has killed infants. Infants with apnea can be resuscitated. An apnea monitor (AKA cot monitor) can detect when a SIDS victim stops breathing � but remember, a SIDS victim is already dead when that happens. Note: Infants with apnea usually are placed on apnea monitors for apnea, not to prevent the unpreventable. And many SIDS parents do use apnea monitors on subsequent children � this has mainly a placebo effect on the parents. No, they are not. You can revive a baby that has apnea if it is not too late. A SIDS baby you can't revive. SIDS is undetectable and you never know when it will hit. With apnea a baby can stop breathing and start again. SIDS is totally different.
Observation and research suggests that SIDS is most closely associated with what?
Sleep Apnea
If you had a child die from SIDS can your granddaughter have the same problem?
No, SIDS is not a heredity or genetic disease.
What are inherited codes?
Genetic codes are inherited.
Is sleep apnea contagious?
Sleep apnea is potentially deadly because you can die if you stop breathing in your sleep. Sleep apnea is not contagious, since it is physiological, not a viral or bacterial disease.
Is degenerative disease inherited disease or genetic disease?
inherited
What is a inherited gene?
Genetic
Is bone cancer a inherited cancer?
Cancers are not "inherited", though a genetic predisposition to them can be.
Is asthma an inherited genetic disorder?
the answer is papaya
What are inherited genetic disorder?
colorblindness and hemophilia.
Is emphysema genetic or inherited?
Emphysema can have genetic components, but it is not typically directly inherited like a Mendelian genetic disorder. Certain genetic factors can increase the likelihood of developing emphysema, particularly in combination with environmental factors like smoking.
