Cri-du-Chat (5p-) syndrome occurs in about 1 in 50 000 births. The syndrome was given its name due to the distinct high pitched, cat-like cry that affected babies have because of the abnormal development of their larynx. Affected individuals have a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 5 (part of chromosome 5 is missing) so this disorder is also sometimes called 5p- syndrome. Characteristic features of this syndrome include low birth weight and delayed growth, microcephaly (small head), downward and outward slanting eyes spaced widely apart, squints, low set ears, facial asymmetry, cleft lip and palate, heart defects, renal (kidney) abnormalities, hypotonia (floppiness) and mental disability ranging from mild to severe. A support group for parents with children with the Cri-du-Chat syndrome was established in 1995. Mrs Angela Bravi is the contact person and group coordinator. She has made contact with Cri-du-Chat syndrome support groups in Australia, UK and USA. She encourages people in South Africa and the rest of the world to contact her by mail, phone or fax so she can build up the Cri-du-Chat Syndrome Support Group.

CRI-DU-CHAT SYNDROME (5p-) FISH ANALYSIS Open Page in New Window Print This Page Return to Search The Kleberg Cytogenetics Laboratory offers a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-based assay for identifying the deletion of 5p15.2 associated with cri-du-chat syndrome. Clinical Features: Reasons for Referral: Patients with clinical features suggestive of cri-du-chat syndrome may be tested for a deletion of 5p15.2 by FISH simultaneously with high-resolution chromosomal analysis (if not previously performed). The majority of deletions are detectable with high-resolution chromosomal analysis. Prenatal diagnosis may be performed if an affected family member has been studied in our laboratory and has been shown to have a deletion detectable by FISH. Please call regarding all prenatal samples. Testing Methodology: FISH is the application of fluorescently labeled DNA molecules to metaphase chromosomes and interphase nuclei for the detection of chromosome abnormalities and alterations. It is a rapid, reliable and direct approach for identifying patients with microdeletions or microduplications. FISH analysis for deletion 5p15.2 is performed on metaphase chromosomes using a commercially available probe. The presence of one hybridization signal indicates a deletion. Virtually all individuals with cri-du-chat syndrome will have a deletion identified by either high-resolution chromosome studies or FISH.

Answer Cri-du-chat syndrome results from a deletion of part of a specific chromosome. It gets its name from the characteristic high-pitched, mewling cry resembling the mewing of a kitten, which these babies have. It is heard in the immediate new born period, lasts for a few weeks and then disappears. Children with this chromosome deletion usually have low birth weight, microcephaly (small head), asymmetric facial features. They may also have a round, so-called moon face with wide set-eyes. They may also have downward sloping eye folds, a squint and a braod-based nose. The ears are low set, abnormally shaped, often with abnormally narrow canals and skin tags in front of the ears. They also have a short neck. Heart defects are common and the babies are floppy, with little muscle tone.

Kehitysvammahuollon tietopankki Omaleimainen itku, pienikokoisuus, puheen kehittymättömyys ja kehitysvammaisuus Cri du chat Lejeunen oireyhtymä Monosomia 5p Osittainen monosomia 5p Deleetio 5p CDC Cri du chat-syndrooma on harvinen useimmiten vaikeaan tai syvään kehitysvammaisuuteen johtava oireyhtymä, joka johtuu 5. kromosomin deleetiosta (geenikarttamerkintä 5p15.2). Siinä kyseisen kromosomin lyhyestä haarasta puuttuu kromosomiainesta. Oireyhtymän tunnusmerkkinä on vauvaiän kissan nau'untaa muistuttava itku, mistä sen ranskankielinen nimityskin johtuu. Muita piirteitä ovat pienikokoisuus, pienipäisyys ( mikrokefalia ), pyöreät kasvot, etäällä toisistaan sijaitsevat silmät, silmäkulmapoimut, alaleuan pienikokoisuus, matalalle asettuneet korvat ja olemuksen velttous. Vanhempana kasvojen pyöreys muuttuu soikiomaiseksi, jopa kapeanlaiseksi ja toisinaan epäsymmetrisyydeksi. Silmäkulmapoimut pienenevät. Ääni muuttuu normaalimmaksi jo vauvavaiheen jälkeen. Cri du chat-lapsi saatta kehittyä ensimmäisten elinkuukausien aikana melko hyvin, mutta puheen kehitys on alusta asti dramaattisen heikkoa. Kävely näyttää jäävän aina jossain määrin puutteelliseksi.

Rauhalliset äänenpainot ja hyväksyvä asenne rauhoittavat heitä, rauhattomuus taas kiihottaa. Vaaratilanteita he eivät osaa varoa.
