One syndrome that can result in early childhood death is Tay-Sachs disease, a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme hexosaminidase A. This leads to the accumulation of GM2 gangliosides in the nerve cells, resulting in severe neurological deterioration. Affected children typically show symptoms by six months of age and often do not survive beyond early childhood, usually succumbing to complications of the disease by age four or five. Other similar syndromes include Sandhoff disease and infantile spinal muscular atrophy, which also lead to early mortality.
What else can I help you with?

Could stress in pregnancy cause Asperger's Syndrome in a newborn baby?
No, Asperger's Syndrome is an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Autism Spectrum Disorders are thought to be genetic.

If you are worried, talk to your OBGYN.
What is rye's syndrome?
Reye syndrome is sudden, sometimes fatal, disease of the brain. The liver also degenerates.

What are mutation that result in death?
These are called fatal genetic mutations. Same examples are: Tay-Sachs disease, Neimann-Pick disease, Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13 are "Edwards Syndrome" and "Patau Syndrome," respectively and Cystic fibrosis
What is the result of cells having mutations during replication?
You can have a baby with physical/mental deformities or death of the child.
What is shakening baby syndrome?
