Bill > K00902

This resolution, a formal request from the New York State Legislative Body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate February 2026 as Turner Syndrome Awareness Month within the state, aligning with the national observance. Turner Syndrome is a genetic condition affecting individuals born female, where cells are missing all or part of an X chromosome, impacting development and potentially leading to various health issues including cardiovascular problems, learning disabilities, ovarian failure, and psychological challenges. The resolution highlights that early detection and increased awareness are crucial for improving the quality of life for the estimated 5,028 women in New York living with this disorder, many of whom are diagnosed late or receive inadequate care, and acknowledges the efforts of organizations like the Turner Syndrome Foundation in supporting research and education.
