Isn’t this correlation? Could this bio marker simply be caused by being born into poverty to a mother who smokes and drinks for example? From the Mayo Clinic “ Risk factors Although sudden infant death syndrome can strike any infant, researchers have identified several factors that might increase a baby's risk. They include: Sex. Boys are slightly more likely to die of SIDS. Age. Infants are most vulnerable between the second and fourth months of life. Race. For reasons that aren't well-understood, nonwhite infants are more likely to develop SIDS. Family history. Babies who've had siblings or cousins die of SIDS are at higher risk of SIDS. Secondhand smoke. Babies who live with smokers have a higher risk of SIDS. Being premature. Both being born early and having a low birth weight increase your baby's chances of SIDS. Maternal risk factors During pregnancy, the mother also affects her baby's risk of SIDS, especially if she: Is younger than 20 Smokes cigarettes Uses drugs or alcohol Has inadequate prenatal care” https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sudden-infant-death-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20352800 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sudden-infant...

Well the authors have at least proposed a plausible mechanism that B-ase is important for arousal so they are detecting that the baby is less able to rouse in response to emergencies.

Do you have any reason to think this enzyme is correlated with something else? Because the paper has a plausible causal mechanism for how it contributes to the auto-inhibition of Kölliker–Fuse nucleus functionality that is thought to be responsible for most cases of SIDs.

  Yeah, it's correlated with sucrase-isomaltase and chromosome 3 transcription factors..

It's well known that many 'SIDS' are parents killing their children. Its so common in my country that a murder investigation is conducted each time it happens Those factors you mentioned are all risk factors of general family violence. Our country has parental classes a lot of it was dealing with the stress of having a child while talking about SIDS and talking about how you don't want it to happen because you will be investigated for murder. We even had public service campaigns, don't shake a baby another about baby crying in a cot and a mother looking like she is about to loose it, then a message to get help. Another about, don't hold a babies mouth ect There is even a difference in methods. For males its blunt force trauma, for mothers its suffocation. From memory their is a large difference between unplanned child and planned child. I think my country is realistic about addressing these issues and not hiding behind 'risk factors'
