For the end of our first semester, we were assigned a symposium to research and make a presentation on a genetically-linked disease. My parter, Abi Grassler, and I chose Cri du Chat as our genetic syndrome. Cri du Chat is a syndrome resulted form a deleted portion of the 5P chromosome, resulting in mental retardation, speech impairment, and most distinctly a cry that sounds like the cry of a cat.
