Resumen
El síndrome de muerte súbita del lactante (SMSL) es un desorden complejo y multifactorial, sobre el cual no están plenamente entendidas sus causas. Avances recientes en investigación relacionada con genética molecular y patofisiología desarrollada en víctimas de este síndrome, muestran que este, como todas las demás condiciones humanas en salud y enfermedad, representa la confluencia de factores de riesgo ambientales específicos que interactúan con vías metabólicas complejas. La presente revisión analiza las condiciones generales necesarias para comprender este síndrome.
