Cri du chat

Cri du chat Syndrome Cri du chat syndrome is an uncommon genetic condition that is caused by missing genetic material on chromosome 5. Specifically a part on the small arm (p) of chromosome 5 is absent. The disorder occurs in 1 in 20,000 to 50,000 live births according to the US National Library of Medicine. What causes this to happen is currently unknown. Cri du chat syndrome was first described in 1963 by French geneticist Jérôme Lejeune. He noticed that several of his patients exhibited a mewing cry like that of a cat. He described it as a syndrome consisting of multiple congenital anomalies. These anomalies being mental retardation, microcephaly, abnormal facial features and a cat like mewing cry in infants which lead to its name. The cry is caused by a problem in the larynx and the nervous…

Cri du Chat syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by deletion of the small arm in chromosome 5. This is an example of unbalanced translocation, which is involved in the development of birth defects and or health problems. As of today, there is no known cause for this case of unbalanced translocation. Typically, there is no evidence of the condition within family lineage. Therefore, Cri du chat is not an inherited disorder. The deletion of this chromosome arm occurs in a…

The cri du chat syndrome is a rare hereditary disease that is characterized by the fact that the affected child, baby, have a cry similar to a cat's meow (cry of a cat = cri du chat). According to the ¨Cri-Du-Chat Syndrome: Clinical Profile and Chromosomal Microarray Analysis¨ article journal by Espirito Santo and partners, the cri du chat syndrome is caused by a specific alteration of genetic material: the loss of a part of the filiform structures in the nucleus of the cell that carry the…

Cri Du Chat Syndrome Section 1 The genetic disorder Cri Du Chat stems from the deletion of a portion the p arm of chromosome 5 in the affected person. This deletion is seemingly spontaneous in most affected individuals. “Approximately 90% of cases results from a sporadic, or randomly-occurring, de novo deletion” (6. pg. 606). This deletion may include a fraction to the entire loss of the p arm of the fifth chromosome as a whole. Taking into consideration the very spontaneous nature of…

Cri du chat syndrome, also referred to as cat cry syndrome and 5p deletion, is a chromosomal disorder resulting from the deletion of the short arm, known as the p arm on chromosome 5 (1). This disease was first described in 1963 by a French geneticist, Jerome Lejeune as a hereditary congenital syndrome (1). Today, it is known as one of most frequent autosomal deletion syndromes that results from loss of the distal portion of chromosome 5 affecting the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT)…

Findings Layout of the Forum Discord is set up so that the creation of individual communities is possible. In order to start a community, a server is created. This is the community with the largest number of people. The server used by this community, for instance, was labeled the ‘No Chill Zone’, as a satyrical reference to a pop phrase used on the internet (“_____ has no chill.”). Within the server, there are text channels. These include pictures, text, and video. Voice channels are…
