I didn't read it carefully but I recall seing a paper on it recently and could perhaps find it if necessary. If I recall correctly (which isn't 100% sure) it was thought to be caused by decreased drive to breath at the brainstem level. I don't recall what the treatments if any were. If hypoventilation syndrome is the culprit perhaps an oxygen saturation test of her blood (simple test) would be revealing. I'm not a physician... just a thought. Don
