Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic condition affecting approximately one out of every 2,000 live female births worldwide, with no known difference in rate of occurrence based upon race, nationality, location, socio-economic factors, or exposure to environmental hazards, and, although genetic, this condition is not usually inherited. The cause of TS is not presently known, but appears to be the result of random error during the formation of either the sperm or the egg.
Girls and women with TS can suffer from a variety of developmental and medical issues. There is presently no cure for TS, but there are treatment options. Individuals with TS require a lifetime of specialized health care from preventative monitoring to treatments. Many girls and women with TS lack access to accommodations and resources for coverage of medical costs. This is due in a large part to lack of knowledge about TS and lack of policy implementation supporting those with TS. Therefore, we are calling on legislators to advocate for this often-forgotten population present in all communities.
I stand for access to accommodations, resources, treatments, supports, and adequate insurance coverage for individuals who have Turner Syndrome.
I support policy that will meet the unmet needs of these individuals.
I call on legislators to take action for this cause.
I stand with the Turner Syndrome community.
