Cri du chat syndrome is a rare genetic disorder due to a partial chromosome deletion on chromosome 5. [1] Its name is a French term ("cat-cry" or "call of the cat") referring to the characteristic cat-like cry of affected children (sound sample ). [2] It was first described by Jérôme Lejeune in 1963.

This method can diagnose PKS in 10 week and older fetuses. In cfDNA screening, DNA from a mothers blood is extracted and screened for the presence of specific chromosome abnormalities such as those associated with the Down syndrome, Patau syndrome (also termed trisomy 13 [8]), and Edwards syndrome (also termed trisomy 18 [9]).
Chromosome 15 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans.People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 15 spans about 99.7 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 3% and 3.5% of the total DNA in cells.
The chromosome is ~193 megabases in length. In a 2012 paper, 775 protein-encoding genes were identified on this chromosome. [4] 211 (27.9%) of these coding sequences did not have any experimental evidence at the protein level, in 2012. 271 appear to be membrane proteins. 54 have been classified as cancer-associated proteins.
The two ranges are effectively the same range. They are split only by the Continental Divide and name. The Tenmile Range is on the north side of the divide, and the Mosquito on the south. The range is often referred to as the Tenmile-Mosquito Range. There are more than a dozen peaks in the range. Peak 1 is the northernmost peak.
The track was known as Lucas Oil Raceway from 2011 to 2021. In 1958, 15 Indianapolis-area businessmen and racing professionals led by Tom Binford, Frank Dickie, Rodger Ward, and Howard Fieber invested $5,000 each to fund the development of a 267-acre (108 ha) farm tract into a recreational sporting complex that would focus on auto racing.
Bandimere Speedway, also known by the NHRA as Thunder Mountain, was a quarter-mile dragstrip located just outside Morrison, Colorado and Lakewood, Colorado.It opened in 1958 and was the host to many racing events, including many NHRA Nationals events.
As part of the track complex's initial opening, the complex built a drag strip, which opened in 1972. [22] In 1999, in the aftermath of Smith buying out the track, the track announced a new 1 ⁄ 4 mile (0.40 km) to replace the original strip built in 1972. [23] The new drag strip opened in April 2000, being named "The Strip". [24]
