Amaç: Cri du Chat Sendromu (CDCS), 5 no’lu kromozomun silinmesi ile oluşan konjenital bir sendromdur. Klinik özellikler bireyden bireye farklılık gösterse de, sendromun en belirgin özelliği doğuştan yüksek perdeli ağlamadır. Fiziksel olarak, maloklüzyon, mikrosefali,motor gelişim geriliği mevcuttur. Farklı derecede zihinsel yetersizlik gözlenmektedir. Dil gelişimlerinde, tipik gelişim gösteren akranları ile karşılaştırıldıklarında alıcı ve ifade edici dil becerilerinde gecikme mevcuttur. Sentaktik becerilerine yönelik sınırlı sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Tek olgu üzerinde Cri du Chat sendromunun dil özelliklerinin incelenmesi çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Yöntem: Çalışmada 72 aylık olgunun dil becerileri dil örneği ve standart dil değerlendirme testleri kullanılarak betimlenmiştir. Bulgular: Sonuçlar, Cri du Chat sendromunda alıcı dil becerisi ve ifade edici dil becerisi arasında fark olduğunu göstermektedir. Sözcük dağarcığında ise, ifade edici dil sözcük dağarcığı, alıcı dil sözcük dağarcığına göre daha iyidir. Çalışmanın sonuçları farklı dillerde yapılan Cri du Chat sendromu olgularının dil özellikleri ile benzerlik göstermektedir. Sonuç: CDCS olan bireylerin dil özelliklerinin farklı yöntemler kullanılarak desenlenecek araştırmalarla ve daha fazla katılımcıyla yapılacak çalışmalarla incelenmesinin bu olgularla yürütülecek terapiler açısından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Purpose: Cri du chat syndrome (CDCS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 in 50.000 live births and results from a deletion of chromatin from the short arm of chromosome 5 (5p). Recent molecular studies have indicated that the main clinical characteristics of the syndrome (learning disability, speech delay, slow growth, microcephaly, and high-pitched monochromatic ‘cat-like cry’ from which the syndrome derives its name) correlate with the loss of a small region in 5p15.2, with the exception of the cat-like cry which has been localized to 5p15.3. The aim of this study was to investigate language characteristics of a rare syndrome Cri du Chat. Method: The subject for this study was a 72 -months- old male. Language data were gathered with using a standardized language tests for Turkish, TEDİL. In addition, for assesing subject’s receptive vocabulary and expressive vocabulary, TIFALDI was used. Spontaneous language sample was obtained by researcher at the clinic. The samples were analyzed at Speech Analysis of Language Transcripts (SALT). Results:The results indicate that Cri du Chat Syndrome could be accompanied by language disorder. The TEDİL results showed that the subject was delayed in both receptive and expressive language. The expressive language is more delayed than the receptive language . The TİFALDİ results showed that the expressive vocabulary was better than receptive vocabulary. According to spontaneous language sample, the subject’s language consisted of single words, limited morphemes. The results of the study share similarities with other studies on language characteristics of Cri du Chat Syndrome. Conclusion: Investigation of language characteristics of individuals with CDCS by using different methods and studies with more participants will be important for therapies to be carried out with these cases
