Many times Cri du Chat goes undiagnosed. "That was the case with Allison Wallace of Bellefountain, Ohio, who was not diagnosed with cri du chat until she was 2 months old. "Her cry was so cute, like a little cat, but we didn't think anything of it as first-time parents," said her father, Nick Wallace, a customer service representative. Neither did her doctor, and it wasn't until the baby struggled with feeding, aspirating formula and requiring a gastrointestinal tube, that genetic testing was ordered." (ABC News)
