The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8061, which designates April 16, 2025, as "Wolf-Hirschhorn/4p-Syndrome Awareness Day" in the state. This resolution highlights the importance of health and well-being for all Floridians and aims to raise awareness about Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a genetic disorder resulting from a partial deletion of chromosome 4. The condition affects approximately one in 50,000 births and is characterized by weak muscle tone and developmental delays in children, who may also face various medical complications.

The resolution emphasizes the ongoing research by medical professionals in Florida to better understand Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, improve diagnostic tools, and explore new therapies. It calls for increased awareness and knowledge about the syndrome through effective diagnostic screenings, early interventions, and support from families and advocates. By designating a specific day for awareness, the resolution seeks to foster a greater understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with 4p-syndrome and their families.
