How is cri du chat inherited?
no, it is not inherited...... it is caused due to missing or deletion of short arm of chromosome 5p itself...... it does not depend on either of the parent. EDIT 90% of Cri du Chat is NOT inherited and involves the deletion listed above. An inherited variation occurs in 10% of Cri du Chat patients. This is the result of one of the parents being a carrier of a balanced chromosomal translocation or inversion involving the p arm of chromosome 5. If the mutated/altered chromosome is passed on to the offspring the child will exhibit Cri du Chat.
