I guess its nice that they have a biomarker, but the underlying reasoning has been known for decades. I was born in the late 70s and was diagnosed very quickly with infant sleep apnea, they might have not known why I suffered, but they knew to check for it. I was in the first group of babies to have a take home monitor. if I was born a handful of years earlier, I might have not survived. if I was born just a little bit earlier I'd have been in the hospital for an extended period of time. As it was, I was able to be taken home and every time put to sleep, my parents had to attach the electrodes (the pajamas I wore all had hold cut in them to allow that) that was supposed to wake me and my parents up whenever I stopped breathing for a set period of time. I was under the impression that sleep apnea was seriously reduced as a cause of SIDS because of this. (i.e. I was raised to believe that before I was born sleep apnea was the primary cause of death for infants who died of what was characterized as SIDS).
