MAIN SEARCH INDEX Cri du chat syndrome Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Cri du chat syndrome occurs when a piece of chromosomal material is missing from a particular region on chromosome 5. Individuals with this syndrome have unusual facial features, poor muscle tone(hypotonia), small head size (microcephaly), and mental retardation . A classic feature of the syndrome is the cat-like cry made by infants with this disorder. Description Dr. Jerome Lejeune first described cri du chat syndrome in 1963. The syndrome is named for the cat-like cry made by infants with this genetic disorder. Cri du chat means "cry of the cat" in French. This unusual cry is caused by abnormal development of the larynx (organ in the throat responsible for voice production). Cri du chat syndrome is also called "5p minus syndrome" because it is caused by a deletion, or removal, of genetic material from chromosome 5. The deletion that causes cri du chat syndrome occurs on the short or "p" arm of chromosome 5. This deleted genetic material is vital for normal development. Absence of this material results in the features associated with cri du chat syndrome. A high-pitched mewing cry during infancy is a classic feature of cri du chat. Infants with cri du chat also typically have low birth weight, slow growth, a small head (microcephaly) and poor muscle tone (hypotonia). Infants with cri du chat may have congenital heart defects. Individuals with cri du chat syndrome have language difficulties, delayed motor skill development, and mental retardation. Behavioral problems may also develop as the child matures.

This syndrome was first reported in . Frequency of occurrence: 1/100,000 births. The deletion results in mental and physical retardation (especially of the face), gastrointestinal malformations and abnormal throat structures. The name comes from the French meaning "cry of the cat" because the crying of affected infants sounds like that of a cat. The deletion of chromosome segments results in the following: 5p25.3 - abnormal larynx (hence the sound of the cry) 5p15.2 - mental and physical retardation Affected infants have retarded motor and mental development but the syndrome is not fatal.

Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Cri du chat syndrome Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: A group of findings 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. 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.
