House of Representatives
Session of 2013 - 2014 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: September 15, 2014 12:22 PM
From: Representative Matthew E. Baker
To: All House members
Subject: Smith-Magenis Syndrome Awareness Month
 
Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) is a chromosomal disorder characterized by a recognizable pattern of physical, behavioral and developmental features. Most individuals with SMS are born with a small deletion of one member of their 17th pair of chromosomes.

Ongoing research offers the hope of new discoveries that will enable people affected by this rare condition to live more independent lives.

Therefore it be resolved that the House of Representatives designate the month of October 2014 as "Smith-Magenis Syndrome Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania.

Please join me in cosponsoring this resolution to raise awareness of SMS.
