Causes, symptoms, diagnostic procedures and criteria, treatments and prognoses for Klinefelter Syndrome, a genetic disorder experienced by males with two X chromosomes.

Klinefelter Syndrome - MedlinePlus

Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs in males when they have an extra X chromosome.
https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000382.htm
Klinefelter Syndrome Treatment and Management - eMedicine

Early identification and anticipatory guidance are extremely helpful, although Klinefelter syndrome is rarely diagnosed in prepubertal males. Treatment should address 3 major facets of the disease: hypogonadism, gynecomastia, and psychosocial problems.

Klinefelter Syndrome - Mayo Clinic

Klinefelter syndrome occurs as a result of a random error that causes a male to be born with an extra sex chromosome. Of the 46 human chromosomes, the two sex chromosomes determine a person's sex. In females, both sex chromosomes are X (written as XX). Males have an X and a Y sex chromosome (XY).

Humans have 46 chromosomes, which contain all of a person's genes and DNA. Two of these chromosomes, the sex chromosomes, determine a person?s gender. Both of the sex chromosomes in females are called X chromosomes. (This is written as XX.) Males have an X and a Y chromosome (written as XY). The two sex chromosomes help a person develop fertility and the sexual characteristics of their gender.

Klinefelter Syndrome - Genetics Home Reference

Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects male physical and cognitive development. Its signs and symptoms vary among affected individuals. Affected individuals typically have small testes that do not produce as much testosterone as usual. Testosterone is the hormone that directs male sexual development before birth and during puberty.

Klinefelter's Syndrome; Extra X Chromosome. Genetic Disorder - Patient

Klinefelter's syndrome is a genetic condition that only affects males. Affected males have an extra X chromosome.

Klinefelter Syndrome: Background, Pathophysiology, Epidemiology - Medscape

In 1942, Klinefelter et al published a report on 9 men who had enlarged breasts, sparse facial and body hair, small testes, and an inability to produce sperm. In 1959, these men with Klinefelter syndrome were discovered to have an extra X chromosome (genotype XXY) instead of the usual male sex complement (genotype XY).
