Cri-du-chat syndrome is not something that individuals can choose to be a candidate for; rather, it is a genetic disorder caused by a deletion of a portion of chromosome 5. It typically occurs randomly during the formation of reproductive cells or in early fetal development. The condition affects both genders and can occur in individuals from any background or ethnicity, but it is not inherited in most cases. Diagnosis is usually made through genetic testing after the characteristic features become apparent.
