[S] Cri - du - Chat Syndrome Support Group (Illustrated) (Great Britain) by Cri - du - Chat Syndrome Support Group Cri du Chat Syndrome ("Cry of the cat" in French) is a genetic disorder caused by the loss or misplacement of genetic material from the fifth chromosome.

So what is Cri Du Chat Syndrome? Cri Du Chat Syndrome results from the loss or deletion of a significant portion of the genetic material from the short arm of one of the pair of number five chromosomes. Cri Du Chat Syndrome is also known as 5P Minus syndrome, Le Jeune's syndrome and Cat-cry syndrome. It is a relatively rare genetic condition with an estimated incidence of 1:50,000 births. Approximately 13% result from an error in a number five chromosome in either parent. In these cases, subsequent children or relatives can also be affected and it is therefore important that all parents of children with this syndrome receive genetic counselling. Sometimes a second chromosome is involved. It is thought that more girls than boys are born with the syndrome. The critical region of the chromosome containing genes which are responsible for the main features of the syndrome appears to be located in band 5p 15.2. The gene causing the cry is thought to be located in band 15.3. This would explain why some babies with other features of the syndrome do not have the characteristic cry and some babies have the cry but not the other characteristics.

SEARCH: The Web Yellow Pages HOME AJC.COM Illustrated Health Encyclopedia Important notice Ency. home Disease C Cri du chat syndrome Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Alternative names: Chromosome 5p deletion syndrome; 5p minus syndrome; Cat cry syndrome 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. Causes and Risks 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.

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.

Cri Du Chat Syndrome Cri Du Chat is a genetic disorder caused by loss or misplacement of genetic material from chromosome 5. It was first identified by Professor Lejeune in 1963 when he discribed it as having a distinctive cry in early infancy. It is estimated that Cri Du Chat Syndrome occurs in 1:50 000 live births. Most people are born with 46 chromosomes. They inherit 23 from each parent. These are paired so that we have 2 of each size chromosome and these are numbered with the largest being number 1 People who are born with Cri Du Chat Syndrome have genetic material missing from the 5th largest chromosome which is called chromosome 5. This is a illustration of chromosome 5 When people are born with genetic material missing it means that in most cases they will function differently from what is expected. Most people with Cri Du Chat Syndrome have some degree of physical and learning difficulty. This varies from person to person ranging from: mild Few attend mainstream school moderate Many achieve a range of skills such as walking, communication and basic self help skills

Pathogenesis partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 5 85% of cases are sporadic de novo deletions 15% of cases represent an unequal segregation of a parental translocation the size of the deletion is variable but includes: 5p15.2 - region accounting for most of the phenotypes 5p15.3 - critical region accounting for high-pitched cry if the parental chromosomes are normal, the recurrence risk is 1% CLINICAL FEATURES: 1. General Manifestations 100% - failure to thrive 100% - mental impairment (IQ rarely above 35) 98-100% - cat-like cry (also weak or high-pitched) 85% - short stature (height <3rd percentile) 60-80% - infantile hypotonia +/- poor muscle tone in childhood 55-65% - abnormal larynx 50-72% - low birth weight ( <2,600 g)

60. Beth's Place Very interesting. The day after I was born the Drs told my Mommy and Daddythat they thought I might have a condition called cri du chat syndrome. http://members.aol.com/Jobewonone/Beth.html

Come on in and have a seat. I'm so glad you came by. My name is Beth and I was born on June 1, 1998. I weighed 5 lb 14.7 oz and was 19 inches long. I have an older brother, his name is Ellis. I like him most of the time, but sometimes he kisses me when I'm asleep and it makes me mad. I like to watch Ellis play and I laugh at him a lot. I roll over from my back to my tummy and then I get mad because I don't like to be on my tummy. I like to hit at the toys on my activity gym and have just started grabbing hold of a toy every now and then. Scroll on down the page and see the new pictures (last updated 1/8/99) Here I am with Dr. Rena Klarich. I am 2 days old. Dr. Klarich is my mommy's doctor, she delivered me. Mommy likes her and I do too. This is me in my hat. Mommy thinks I look really cute in it. I'm 6 month's old in this picture. This is my first cookie. Yum Yum, I like it. Here I am just being my sweet little self. Mommy says I'm precious. Hmmmmm, this is interesting. What is this thing mommy keeps putting in my face?
