She's got a deletion of a certain strand of DNA that produces survival motor neurons. Because she doesn't have that, she basically loses the connection from her nerves to her muscles and the muscles (then) atrophy.

We mark them with a synthetic DNA strand that can only be seen with a special laser frequency, calibrated to that exact DNA sequence.

If you don't have the physical conditioning necessary to get your self out of trouble, the skills in this book won't do you much good.
