A PROCLAMATION
TURNER SYNDROME AWARENESS MONTH
WHEREAS:
Turner Syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal condition that occurs when one of the two X chromosomes normally found in females is missing or contains structural defects; and
WHEREAS:
There is currently no known cause of TS, which affects approximately one out of every 2,500 live female births. There are over 70,000 women and girls with TS living in the United States; and
WHEREAS:
The symptoms of TS can vary depending on the severity of the chromosomal defect, but almost all girls and women with the syndrome experience ovarian failure and infertility. Other characteristics of the syndrome may include congenital heart disease, osteoporosis, type II diabetes, obesity and nonverbal learning disabilities; and
WHEREAS:
TS Awareness Month will also provide the opportunity to share experiences and information with the general public to raise awareness about TS to support and comfort to those living with the disorder; now
THEREFORE: I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim FEBRUARY 2012, as TURNER SYNDROME AWARENESS MONTH in Georgia.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 3rd day of February in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve .
