[quote=Anonymous]Hopefully a huge breakthrough in understanding the mechanism behind SIDS. This could bring some type of closure for so many families despite this worst imaginable tragedy. It has been tied to an enzyme deficiency. Juts wanted to share. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352396422002225 "For years, scientists have believed that SIDS — the sudden death of an infant during sleep in its first year — is tied to a malfunction that causes some babies not to startle or wake if they stop breathing while sleeping. But until now, no one knew exactly what was causing that malfunction. This study has pinpointed that the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) — an enzyme vital to the brain’s arousal pathway — is significantly lower in babies who died of SIDS."[/quote]
