WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins Texans | ||
across the state in observing February of 2015 as Turner Syndrome | ||
Awareness Month; and | ||
WHEREAS, Turner Syndrome is a non-inheritable chromosomal | ||
disorder that prevents the female body from maturing naturally; | ||
the condition occurs in approximately one of every 2,000 female | ||
births; and | ||
WHEREAS, The syndrome presents itself through a wide array | ||
of symptoms, and its properties are different in each woman | ||
affected; early diagnosis facilitates remediation of growth | ||
failure and other difficulties, and with care by medical | ||
specialists, women with the syndrome can live a healthy life; and | ||
WHEREAS, For many years, Turner Syndrome has received | ||
inadequate funding for research and treatment, and it is truly | ||
fitting that a month be set aside to draw attention to the need | ||
for greater funding and awareness of the condition; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby encourage Texans to support services for | ||
those affected by Turner Syndrome, as well as research on the | ||
disorder, and extend best wishes to all for a productive and | ||
rewarding Turner Syndrome Awareness Month; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of Turner Syndrome Awareness Month. | ||
