315.9 - Unspecified delay in development | ICD-10-CM.
The ICD-10 Code for cerebral palsy is G80. 9.
Is cri du chat syndrome inherited? Most cases of cri du chat syndrome are not inherited. The chromosomal deletion usually occurs as a random event during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs or sperm) or in early fetal development. People with cri du chat typically have no history of the condition in their family.
A specific test known as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) may be used to confirm a diagnosis of cri du chat syndrome. Chromosomal studies may also be performed to determine whether a balanced translocation is present in one parent.

Intellectual Disabilities ICD-10-CM Code range F70-F79.
Other names for this condition include cat-cry syndrome, 5P minus syndrome and Le Jeune's syndrome. Chromosomes are responsible for our inherited characteristics such as eye colour. In a child with cri du chat syndrome, some of the genes located on Chromosome 5 are missing, usually for reasons unknown.
Cri-du-chat syndrome occurs in an estimated 1 in 20,000 to 50,000 newborns. This condition is found in people of all ethnic backgrounds.
People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 5 spans about 181 million base pairs (the building blocks of DNA) and represents almost 6% of the total DNA in cells. Chromosome 5 is the 5th largest human chromosome, yet has one of the lowest gene densities....Chromosome 5GenBankCM000667 (FASTA)19 more rows
There is no specific treatment for cri du chat syndrome. However, affected babies and children may need a great deal of physiotherapy and speech and language therapy. Provision of early special schooling and a supportive home environment helps in development of social and intellectual ability.
Currently, the mortality rate of cri-du-chat syndrome is 6-8% in the overall population.
