====SIDS==== The DTaP vaccine has been suspected of causing Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, which causes children to stop breathing and die.<ref>[http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/Vaccines/VaccineSids.aspx Vaccine/SIDS Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS/cot death) and Childhood Vaccines: Is There a Connection?] '"Shirley's Wellness Cafe."</ref> However, studies have not shown a connection between SIDS and DTaP vaccinations.<ref>[http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/Concerns/sids.html Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Vaccines]. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 2010 March 11.</ref> Recent studies have identified abnormalities in the development and function of medullary serotonin (5-HT) pathways in the postmortem [[brain]] from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) cases, suggesting 5-HT-mediated dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system in SIDS.<ref>Rand CM, Berry-Kravis EM, Zhou L, Fan W, Weese-Mayer DE. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17597646 Sudden infant death syndrome: rare mutation in the serotonin system FEV gene.] ''Pediatric Research''. 2007 Aug;62(2):180-2.</ref><ref>Howard LM, Kirkwood G, Latinovic R. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17854254 Sudden infant death syndrome and maternal depression.] ''Journal of Clinical Psychiatry''. 2007 Aug;68(8):1279-83.</ref> This is basically stating that SIDS has a strong [[genetic]] component and is more prevalent in families that have issues with serotonin re-uptake, thus preventing the infant from shifting when their airway becomes blocked while asleep. Research into SIDS is progressing, and has left behind the fictional link to vaccines.
