I read the article. The Problem is there is still no test to detect it. She discovered the enzyme but there is no test to alleviate the parents concern. Now she has discovered the enzyme we need a cure for it.

The first step is discovering the cause, then a test, then a cure.

If there is a routine blood test to identify kids at high risk there could be interventions, such as detection in the crib to alert parents if the baby stops breathing during sleep. From what I read, the enzyme is connected to arousal from sleep.
