Cri du chat (French for "cry of the cat" or "cat's cry") syndrome is a rare genetic defect in humans. It is caused by a deletion of the short arrn of chromosome 5 (called 5p). Babies with this syndrome often have a characteristic high-pitched cry that sounds like a cat.
Jérôme Lejeune discovered the cause of cri du chat syndrome in 1964. Five years previously, he had discovered the chromosome abnormality that causes Down syndrome in humans.
