Cri du chat syndrome (cri du chat) is a genetic disorder caused by a deletion of a portion of chromosome 5, specifically the short arm (5p). It is characterized by distinctive features such as a high-pitched, cat-like cry in infants, developmental delays, and various physical anomalies. Individuals with this syndrome may also experience intellectual disabilities and other health issues. Early intervention and supportive therapies can help improve quality of life for those affected.
