Cri du Chat syndrome: Characteristics of 73 Brazilian patients

ConclusionsThe questionnaire was a pioneer initiative in the CdCS support group, and the answers used in this study can improve the health care assistance to these patients because they focus attention on the demands from a parental perspective. In addition, nearly half of the families stated that they did not remember information regarding recurrence risk, which reinforces the importance of genetic counselling follow‐up and the need for the expansion of genetic services in Brazil
