| 1 | 1 | | SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 101 |
|---|
| 2 | 2 | | WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins Texans |
|---|
| 3 | 3 | | across the state in observing February of 2015 as Turner Syndrome |
|---|
| 4 | 4 | | Awareness Month; and |
|---|
| 5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, Turner Syndrome is a non-inheritable chromosomal |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | disorder that prevents the female body from maturing naturally; |
|---|
| 7 | 7 | | the condition occurs in approximately one of every 2,000 female |
|---|
| 8 | 8 | | births; and |
|---|
| 9 | 9 | | WHEREAS, The syndrome presents itself through a wide array |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | of symptoms, and its properties are different in each woman |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | affected; early diagnosis facilitates remediation of growth |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | failure and other difficulties, and with care by medical |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | specialists, women with the syndrome can live a healthy life; and |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | WHEREAS, For many years, Turner Syndrome has received |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | inadequate funding for research and treatment, and it is truly |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | fitting that a month be set aside to draw attention to the need |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | for greater funding and awareness of the condition; now, |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | therefore, be it |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | Legislature, hereby encourage Texans to support services for |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | those affected by Turner Syndrome, as well as research on the |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | disorder, and extend best wishes to all for a productive and |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | rewarding Turner Syndrome Awareness Month; and, be it further |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | honor of Turner Syndrome Awareness Month. |
