Cri du chat syndrome (cat cry syndrome). The deletion of the locus 5p15.2 can be seen in the standard karyotype (G banding or R banding) or demonstration by FISH with locus specific probe 5p15.2 or Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) on metaphase. In this case, it is an intercalary deletion, the subtelomeric probes of short arm (Tel5p) and of long arms (Tel5q) of chromosome 5 in place.
