Most cases of cri-du-chat syndrome are due to spontaneous deletion of chromosome 5p15.2-5p15.3 during development of either the egg or sperm. However, a few rare cases are caused by a different chromosome aberration in the gametes of one of the parents. What other chromosome aberration could cause a child with cri-du-chat to be born to phenotypically normal parents? Explain.

The karyotype designation for an infant with a deletion in the short arm of chromosome 5 (cri du chat syndrome) is
The image shown below is a karyotype of an individual who has a chromosomal disorder called Cri Du Chat syndrome. Looking carefully at chromosomes 5, what is the best term for the alteration that has occurred? This may require some internet investigating as well. a) deletion b) translocation c) inversion followed by a duplication d) duplication e) duplication followed by inversion f) inversion
