  Cri du chat Syndrome (CdCS) is a rare genetic condition with an incidence of 1:50,000 live births. It is a severe disease resulting from a deletion of the short arm of chromosome 5 and is characterized by intellectual disabilities and delayed physical development. The basic medical disorder includes dysmorphic facies, mental retardation, and a striking catlike cry in infancy.
