Genetic Variants Linked to Sudden Unexplained Deaths
Date Published
May 17, 2021
Researchers improve molecular autopsy accuracy by identifying more genetic variants that could lead to sudden unexplained deaths. These genetic clues may better inform criminal investigations and help prevent deaths in surviving family members.
