I was interested in the posts on this disorder because I thought I
remembered reading something about this.  After some searching, I
realized that I recognized the term from my research on HELLP syndrome.
(a serious complication of pregnancy)

Women who develop severe preeclampsia or eclampsia have abnormally high
levels of this in their blood.  It is suspected of being a cause of the
seizures that can occur with eclampsia.

Also, a deficiency in another digestive enzyme was recently reported as
a cause in some SIDs deaths. One is responsible for digesting fat, the
other protein.

My point and questions are: did this mom have PIH? and Dr. Saenz, do
think that this baby may be at elevated risk for SIDs?

I realize that this is a bit off topic, but not too far I hope.
