What help is available in Oregon for Male Turner Syndrome?


My new great grandson (Dec 28 '06)was diagnosed with this birth defect. Most of the info I've found is very outdated and seemingly obsolete. My daughter was told that there are no Dr's in OR who deal with this. Also, what financial help might be available...the baby's mommy is only 15 and cannot get help from the state and her parents' insurance will not cover the baby. HELP!

Please visit http://www.rarediseases.org/ . Tons of information there. I copied some of what I thought might be most helpful to you. Best wishes to you and your family.

If you have a question about a rare disease, available resources, or caring for a loved one, you can call or write to NORD's genetic counselor or registered nurse at any time. Write to Genetic_Counselor
@rarediseases.org or RN@rarediseases.org, or call (800) 999-NORD or (203) 744-0100.
