	"Cri-du-chat" means in French "CRy of the cat" referring to the distinctive cry of the children with this disorder. It is a [[Chromosome\|chromosomal]] condition that results when a piece of [[~~chromosome~~ 5\|chromosome 5]] is missing and it is difficult to diagnose for children above 2 years old because the symptoms are no intense. Cri-du-chat is caused by a deletion (the length of which may vary) on the short arm of chromosome 5. Multiple [[~~genes~~\|genes]] are lost during this deletion and one of the most important missing gene is called TERT ([[~~telomerase~~ reverse transcriptase\|telomerase reverse transcriptase]]) which is important for [[~~cell~~ division\|cell division]].
