XXY syndrome

XXY syndrome, also known as Klinefelter syndrome, is a genetic condition that occurs in males who have an extra X chromosome, resulting in a total of 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. This can lead to various physical and developmental traits, such as taller stature, reduced testosterone levels, and potential fertility issues. Individuals may also experience learning difficulties or delayed speech development. Diagnosis often happens during adolescence or adulthood, and treatment options, including hormone therapy and educational support, can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
