The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8037, which designates April 16, 2026, as "Wolf-Hirschhorn/4p-Syndrome Awareness Day" in the state. This resolution highlights the importance of raising 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 need for effective diagnostic screenings, early interventions, and increased knowledge about 4p-syndrome to support affected individuals and their families. It acknowledges the ongoing research and treatment efforts by medical professionals in Florida, aiming to improve the lives of those impacted by this rare genetic disorder. By designating a specific day for awareness, the resolution seeks to foster understanding and support for individuals with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome and their families.
