House Resolution 1652

By: Representative Martin of the 49th

A RESOLUTION

Recognizing February 28, 2026, as Turner Syndrome Awareness Day; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Turner Syndrome is a non-inheritable chromosomal disorder that causes an increased risk of non-verbal learning disorder, which can result in delays or impairments in cognitive processing, visuospatial skills, executive function, and job retention; and

WHEREAS, Turner Syndrome manifests in approximately one out of every 2,500 live female births, and early diagnosis via complete cardiac screening is critical for preventing or remediating potential growth failure, hearing problems, and learning difficulties; and

WHEREAS, the associated risk for acute dissection, a life-threatening emergency caused by a tear in the aorta, is increased by more than 100-fold in young and middle-aged women with Turner Syndrome; and

WHEREAS, with the help of medical specialists and good social support systems, women with Turner Syndrome can live happy, healthy lives; and

WHEREAS, despite the benefits of early screening, a disproportionately small amount of funding is available for Turner Syndrome research and support; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper to acknowledge this day as an opportunity to raise public awareness about Turner Syndrome.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize February 28, 2026, as Turner Syndrome Awareness Day. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
