What type of genetic disease is Cri Du Chat?

---

panda, Cri du chat syndrome - also known as 5p- syndrome and cat cry syndrome - is a rare genetic condition that is caused by the deletion (a missing piece) of genetic material on the small arm (the p arm) of chromosome 5. The cause of this rare chromosomal deletion is unknown. The diagnosis of cri du chat syndrome is generally made in the hospital at birth. A health care provider may note the clinical symptoms associated with the condition. The cat-like cry is the most prominent clinical feature in newborn children and is usually diagnostic for the cri du chat syndrome.

Additionally, analysis of the individual's chromosomes may be performed. The missing portion (deletion) of the short arm of chromosome 5 may be seen on a chromosome analysis. If not, a more detailed type of genetic test called FISH analysis may be needed to reveal the deletion.

Is Cri Du Chat dominant or recessive and sex-linked or autosomal?

---

The question says it all.

I just wanted to know for a project!
None of the above - it's due to a deletion of the short arm of chromosome 5, not something that is inherently wrong with the parental chromosomes. That being said, I'm sure that heredity may play a role in a small portion (<10%) of cases, but not necessarily following an autosomal inheritance pattern of any kind. Hope this helps.  (+ info)

Can someone explain to me about Cri du chat?

---

I'm not sure what causes it but I know that it's known as "Cat's cry" but it's something neurological. It occurs in babies and very small children and makes their crying very soft that it sounds much like a cat meowing. It will sometimes hinder feeding because sucking is hard for the baby.  (+ info)
