Mental retardation with cerebral palsy (MRCP)

Subject: Mental retardation with cerebral palsy (MRCP)

I've honestly never heard it abbreviated like that, but I did google *MRCP cerebral palsy* and that's what came up. Given the symptom of hypotonia, it definitely makes me think of cerebral palsy. Was there any sort of mental status testing done (just as a check)?
