		However, recent findings indicate that in children with typical Cri du Chat, IQ predominantly falls into the moderate to severe learning disability range but that there is a crucial discrepancy in the pattern of language functioning with children displaying better receptive than expressive language (Cornish, Bramble et al 1999; Cornish and Munir 1998).
		Self-injurious behaviour appears to be very common in Cri du Chat syndrome (Dykens and Clarke 1997; Collins and Cornish 2001) most notably head banging, hitting the head against body parts, and self-biting all reaching a plateau in late childhood and then remaining constant throughout early adulthood.
		Most cases of Cri du Chat syndrome are sporadic (eighty-five per cent) while ten to fifteen per cent of cases are familial with the overwhelming majority due to parental translocations.
