What is kliene syndrome?
Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition in which a male is born with an extra X chromosome. This means that instead of the usual XY chromosome pair, a male with Klinefelter syndrome has an XXY chromosome pair.
Klinefelter syndrome is the most common sex chromosome disorder in males, affecting about 1 in 600 male births. It is usually not detected at birth, and many men with the condition are not diagnosed until adulthood.
Symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome can include:
* Tall stature
* Long, slender limbs
* Small testes
* Low testosterone levels
* Infertility
* Gynecomastia (breast enlargement)
* Learning disabilities
* Behavioral problems
* Social difficulties
Treatment for Klinefelter syndrome can help to improve symptoms and prevent complications. Treatment may include:
* Testosterone replacement therapy
* Speech therapy
* Occupational therapy
* Physical therapy
* Counseling
Klinefelter syndrome is a lifelong condition, but it can be managed with treatment. Most men with Klinefelter syndrome live full and healthy lives.
