So this is what I got out of it about two days ago...

1-it is a sydrome that is caused by the deletion of chormosome 5.
A.) Cases vary on how severe it can be, the more deletion the more severe.
B.) There are mullltiple names for Cri-Du-Chat such as the common name Cat Cry syndrome.
2-Something commonly known to people is that the earliest symptom is the cry from an infant sounding like a cats meow. (Isn't that interesting. lol)
3-I have found over 30 symptoms to this syndrome, some are characteristics that can help you point them out such as wide set eyes and small chin. Others are the cat like cry. And some are just sad :(;;they bite themselves and hit their heads on hard objects. They can't help it, and its horrible =/
4-There are no certain geographies that start this symptom, as a matter of fact thing syndrome happens after the egg and sperm meet and fertilize.
5-1 in 20000-50000 children get it!
6-The male passes this on more than females p: but hey no one can stop it.
7-There is treatments that help them develop better motor skills etc

sooo yah that is what I kno so far, ill get back to you guys with more info.! (:
