What is Klinefelter syndrome syndrome?

Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition affecting males, and it often isn't diagnosed until adulthood. Klinefelter syndrome may adversely affect testicular growth, resulting in smaller than normal testicles, which can lead to lower production of testosterone.Sep 21, 2019

What is the genetic code for Klinefelter syndrome?

Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a genetic condition where there's an extra X chromosome present in a male's genetic code. Instead of having a total of 46 chromosomes, they have 47 — with two copies of the X chromosome and one copy of the Y chromosome (47,XXY).Jul 13, 2020

What is the main cause of Klinefelter syndrome?

When is Klinefelter syndrome diagnosed?

Klinefelter syndrome usually is not diagnosed until the time of puberty. At this point, the boy's testicles fail to grow, and you may start to notice other symptoms.

Is Klinefelter syndrome caused by nondisjunction?

The 47,XXY karyotype of Klinefelter syndrome spontaneously arises when paired X chromosomes fail to separate (nondisjunction in stage I or II of meiosis, during oogenesis or spermatogenesis). Maternal and paternal meiotic nondisjunction each account for approximately 50% of Klinefelter syndrome cases.Mar 23, 2020

Can females get Klinefelter's syndrome?

Klinefelter syndrome affects males only; females cannot have it. Klinefelter syndrome results from a genetic abnormality in which males have an extra copy of the X chromosome. Instead of the usual XY chromosomes, males with Klinefelter syndrome have an XXY pattern.

CAN XXY get pregnant?

It is possible that an XXY male could get a woman pregnant naturally. Although sperm are found in more than 50% of men with KS3, low sperm production could make conception very difficult.Dec 1, 2016

Which characteristic is commonly associated with Klinefelter syndrome?

Males who have Klinefelter syndrome may have the following symptoms: small, firm testes, a small penis, sparse pubic, armpit and facial hair, enlarged breasts (called gynecomastia), tall stature, and abnormal body proportions (long legs, short trunk).May 19, 2019

Are XXY male or female?

A person's biological sex is determined by the sex chromosomes: females have two X chromosomes, or XX; most males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, or XY. Males with XXY syndrome are born with cells that have an extra X chromosome, or XXY.

What research is being done on Klinefelter syndrome?

The RMN currently has several ongoing clinical studies, including a clinical trial to determine a level of oxygen in culture media that improves live birth rates in couples undergoing in vitro fertilization.Dec 1, 2016

The ICD code Q980 is used to code Klinefelter syndrome

Klinefelter syndrome or Klinefelter's syndrome (KS) (/ˈklaɪnfɛltər/) also known as 47,XXY or XXY, is the set of symptoms that result from two or more X chromosomes in males. The primary feature is sterility. Often symptoms may be subtle and many people do not realize they are affected.
