Our aim is to provide support and information for those looking for information on Cri Du Chat

Cri Du Chat Syndrome is an abnormality resulting in the deletion of part of the short arm of chromosome 5. Sometimes this syndrome is called "Cat Cry Syndrome" or "5p-"

This site is for families, carers, health professional and students wanting to know more about the syndrome.  We hope that the information here will help you to understand a little more about this condition. 

You can register , see the link on the right of this page notification of updates to this site and any events that may be planned.  Registration to this site is not the same as becoming a member of the UK Group although you can contact us for that too.
