I believe that Dr Glenn Shea has done some research into the topic and found that Diamond python Syndrome is mainly linked to the fact that keepers have their diamond's enclosures at too high a temperature for lengthy periods of time, keeping in mind they are a naturally cold tolerant snake. This would make sense considering diamond pythons are typically nocturnal.
I can't point you in the direction of any scientific papers, so my post is purely anecdotal also.
cheers.
