SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 101
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.
