Cri du Chat Syndrome Treatment
No specific treatment is available for this syndrome. The mental retardation must be addressed, and counseling is recommended for the parents.
If a child is found to have this syndrome, his parents should have genetic counseling and a karyotype test to make sure that they do not have rearranged chromosomes that predispose to the child missing part of chromosome 5.
