Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Cri-du-chat Syndrome Cri-du-chat Syndrome Karyotype Cri-du-chat Syndrome occurs, when a part of the shorter chromosome is Chromosome 5 With a Missing Region Normal Set of Chromosome 5 Normal (female) Karyotype vs. fifth in x 50,000 livebirths. The syndrome is named after the cat-like cry the infants with this genetic disorder make. Cri-du-chat means "cat's cry" in French. deleted. 50-60 Newborns in the US each Year. Cri-du-chat Affects... How do you get Cri-du-chat? 10% 90% Cri-du-chat Inheritance Deletion is Sporadic (Random) Hereditary Chromosomal Arrangement From An Unaffected Parent Deletion Deletion is a mutation where there is missing genetic material, that is normally found on a chromosome. The genetic material mainly goesmissing because of an error in the replication of the egg or sperm cells. Cri-du-chat can happenfrom sporadic deletion. This means the mutationhappens randomly andis not hereditary.

The genetic material deleted is necessary for normal development. Fifth Chromosome Those who are affected have no family history ofthe genetic disorder. Some Cri-du-chat patients can inherit the chromosome abnormalityfrom an unaffected parent.In 80% of these patients, the defected chromosome comes from the father.
