Abstract excerpt
Cri du Chat syndrome (CdCs) is a well-defined clinical entity, with an incidence of 1/15,000 to 1/50,000. The critical region for CdCs has been mapped to 5p15, with the hallmark cat-like cry sublocalized to 5p15.3 and the remaining clinical features to 5p15.2. We report findings in a subject with a de novo t(5;7)(p15.2;p12.2) and an inv(3)(p24q24), who was found to have a cryptic microdeletion in the critical...
