Klinefelter Syndrome

Klinefelter Syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs in males when they are born with an extra X chromosome, leading to a XXY configuration instead of the typical XY. This usually affects physical and cognitive development. Men with Klinefelter Syndrome may experience symptoms like taller stature, reduced muscle strength, and less facial hair, along with potential fertility issues and learning difficulties. Diagnosis often occurs during puberty or adulthood, and while there is no cure, treatment options such as hormone therapy and counseling can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
