Most cases of cri-du-chat syndrome are not inherited. The deletion of part of a chromosome occurs most often as a random event during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs or sperm) or in early fetal development. Affected people typically have no history of the disorder in their family.
About 10 percent of people with cri-du-chat syndrome inherit the chromosome abnormality
from an unaffected parent. In these cases, the parent carries a chromosomal rearrangement
called a balanced translocation, in which no genetic material is gained or lost. They however show no signs of the disorder.
Balanced translocations usually do not cause any health problems; but they can become unbalanced as they are passed to the next generation.
