Objectives: Cri du chat syndrome is a genetic alteration associated with some oral pathologies. However, it has not been described previously any clinical relationship between the periodontal disease and the syndrome. The purpose of this comparative study was to compare periodontopathogenic flora in a group with Cri du chat syndrome and another without the síndrome, to assess a potential microbiological predisposition to suffer a periodontitis.
Study Design: The study compared nineteen subjects with Cri du chat Syndrome with a control group of nineteen patients without it. All patients were clinically evaluated by periodontal probing, valuing the pocket depth, the clinical attachmente level and bleeding on probing. There were no significant differences between both groups. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Tannerella forsythia and Treponema denticola were detected by multiplex-PCR using 16S rDNA (microIDENT).
Results: When A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, P. intermedia and T. denticola were compared, no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups (p>0.05). The value of T. forsythia was significantly higher for Cri du chat syndrome (31.6%) than for the control group (5.3%). The odds ratio for T. forsythia was 8.3.
Conclusion: In the present study T. forsythia is associated with Cri du chat syndrome subjects and not with healthy subjects.

Laryngeal anatomical variations in Cri du Chat syndrome remain incompletely characterized in the medical literature, with few published photographic documentations. We present a case of a 20-month-old male with confirmed 5p15 deletion who presented with congenital inspiratory stridor and dysphagia. Videofluoroscopic evaluation at 13 months demonstrated aspiration of thin liquids.

Article Synopsis
- Genetic syndromes have been extensively studied for their clinical signs and underlying mechanisms, but gaps remain in understanding specific aspects like vocal production in conditions such as Cri du chat syndrome (CdCS).
- A study aimed to analyze the vocal characteristics of 29 CdCS patients aged 4 to 21 by recording their pronunciations of the vowels [a], [i], and [u], as well as counting from 1 to 10.
- Results showed notable differences in vocal qualities based on age and gender, with older males exhibiting the most pronounced roughness and asthenia, highlighting the link between voice production and biological or clinical traits.

Introduction: 5p deletion syndrome, also called Cri-du-chat syndrome 5p is a rare genetic syndrome with reports up to 36% of patients are associated with congenital heart defects. We investigated the association between left outflow tract obstruction and Cri-du-chat syndrome.
Methods: A retrospective review of the abnormal microarray cases with congenital heart defects in Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and the Cytogenomics of Cardiovascular Malformations Consortium.

Salivary gland pleomorphic adenoma (SGPA) is the most common type of benign epithelial tumor; it is observed more commonly in females (with a female-to-male ratio of 1.43:1), and the age at diagnosis ranges between 40 and 59 years, with only 2% of cases diagnosed before age 18. Cri du Chat (CdC) is a rare syndrome caused by deletions of various sizes in the short arm of chromosome 5.

Human-specific genes are potential drivers of brain evolution. Among them, SRGAP2C has contributed to the emergence of features characterizing human cortical synapses, including their extended period of maturation. SRGAP2C inhibits its ancestral copy, the postsynaptic protein SRGAP2A, but the synaptic molecular pathways differentially regulated in humans by SRGAP2 proteins remain largely unknown.
