General Discussion
Cri du Chat Syndrome, a rare chromosomal disorder that is apparent at birth, is characterized by a distinctive high, shrill, mewing, "kitten-like" cry during infancy. This distinctive cry can become less pronounced during late infancy. Other findings and symptoms may include low birth weight and failure to grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive); distinctive abnormalities of the head and face (craniofacial area) including an unusually small head (microcephaly), widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), and an unusually small jaw (micrognathia); and mental retardation. Cri du Chat Syndrome is caused by the absence of genetic material (deletion) on the short arm (p) of chromosome 5.

Cri du chat syndrome
Definition: Cri du chat syndrome is a group of symptoms that result from missing a piece of chromosome number 5. The syndrome�s name is based on the infant�s cry, which is high pitched and sounds like a cat.
Alternative Names: Chromosome 5p deletion syndrome; 5p minus syndrome; Cat cry syndrome
Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The cri du chat syndrome is caused by the deletion of information on chromosome 5. It is likely that multiple genes on chromosome 5 are deleted. One deleted gene, called TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) is involved in control of cell growth, and may play a role in how some of the features of cri cu chat develop. The cause of this rare chromosomal deletion is not known, but it is expected that the majority of cases are due to spontaneous loss of a piece of chromosome 5 during development of an egg or sperm. A minority of cases result from one parent carrying a rearrangement of chromosome 5 called a translocation. Between 1 in 20,000 and 1 in 50,000 babies are affected. This disease may account for up to 1% of individuals with severe mental retardation. Infants with cri du chat syndrome commonly have a distinctive cat-like cry. They also have an extensive grouping of abnormalities with severe mental retardation being the most important.

    http://www.thehutchpage.com/aboutcriduchat.htm
    What is Cri du Chat Syndrome? Cri du Chat (KREE doo SHAH) Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder where the short arm of the fifth chromosome is lost from the first cell of life. All of our genes are attached to chromosomes. So when a piece of a chromosome is lost, so is a piece of the genetic code that makes us who we are. In approximately 90 percent of cases, including Vincent's, both parents are chromosomally normal and the deletion occurs spontaneously for reasons that geneticists cannot yet explain. The syndrome is rare. Estimates of its occurrence range from one in 30,000 to one in 50,000 live births. Undoubtedly this accounts for the relative paucity of information on Cri du Chat, as compared to more commonly known chromosomal disorders such as Down's Syndrome. Like most chromosomal disorders, Cri du Chat presents an array of developmental challenges intellectual as well as physical. Mental retardation ranges from mild to severe, with most cases falling into the moderate range. Communication is the most significant challenge for persons with this syndrome. Some form of sign language is a must. Physical development is impaired primarily by low muscle tone, which underscores the importance of early intervention in the form of physical therapy. It is considered exceptional for a child with this syndrome to walk before 3 years old. Some people with the syndrome are never able to walk at all.

    Cri du chat
    [Categories: Genetic disorders]
    Cri du chat syndrome , also called deletion 5p syndrome , or 5p minus , is a rare genetic disorder due to a missing portion of (A threadlike body in the cell nucleus that carries the genes in a linear order) chromosome 5. It was first described by Lejeune in 1963. The condition affects an estimated 1 in 20,000 to 50,000 live births. The disorder is found in people of all ethnic backgrounds and is slightly more common in females.
    Signs and symptoms
    Its name, meaning cry of the cat in French, is from the distinctive mewing sound made by infants with the disorder. As babies, patients tend to be squirmy with a mewing cry, ascribed to abnormal (Click link for more info and facts about laryngeal) laryngeal development. The cry becomes less distinctive with age. Individuals with cri du chat syndrome are often underweight at birth. The disorder is characterized by severe (Lack of normal development of intellectual capacities) mental retardation and delayed development, distinctive facial features, small head size ( (An abnormally small head and underdeveloped brain) microcephaly ), low birth weight, and weak muscle tone (

    Cri du chat syndrome
    Question:
    what are some symptoms of cri du chat syndrome?
    Answer:
    Cri du chat (cat cry) or 5p- syndrome is a genetic disorder where the person is missing a small part of the short arm of chromosome number 5. Chromosomes are the structures in all of our cells that carry DNA that instructs the body how to form, function and grow. There are 46 chromosomes in each cell of the body. You inherit half of your chromosomes from your mother and half from your father. On a rare occasion, a piece of a chromosome can break off and be lost at conception – this is usually the case in 5p- syndrome. Babies born with 5p- syndrome may have a high pitched cry, usually are small at birth, have poor muscle tone and a small head (microcephaly). Children with 5p- usually grow slowly. Mental retardation is also seen. While not common, some children will have a congenital heart defect and there can other problems such as a cleft lip and palate or other organ involvement. The website listed below has additional information about 5p- syndrome.
