Bill > SCR141

This resolution, a formal statement agreed upon by both the Senate and the House of Representatives of Delaware, designates February 2026 as Turner Syndrome Awareness Month within the state. Turner Syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects only females, caused by a missing or incomplete X chromosome, and while its exact cause is unknown, it impacts approximately 1 in every 2,000 females. The resolution highlights that many infants are not screened for Turner Syndrome at birth, leading to later diagnoses, and that individuals with the syndrome can experience various lifelong health issues, including heart problems, learning disabilities, and hormonal imbalances. The core purpose of this designation is to emphasize the importance of raising awareness about Turner Syndrome to facilitate earlier detection and more effective treatment, thereby improving the lives of those affected.
