Klinefelter Syndrome Ohio Support Network What is 47XXY (Klinefelter Syndrome)? What are the causes? How and when is XXY diagnosed? Does being XXY affect one's health? ... Does XXY affect children? What is 47XXY (Klinefelter Syndrome)? 47/XXY is estimated to occur in one out of 500 males, making it the most common chromosomal disorder. Rather than the normal male chromosome pattern, 46XY, there is an extra X chromosome. The result is the 47/XXY arrangement. This variation happens when paired chromosomes fail to separate in the first or second stage of meiosis. For many years, this condition has been called Klinefelter Syndrome, named for Dr. Harry Klinefelter, who published a report about nine men with enlarged breasts, sparse facial and body hair, small testes, and an inability to produce sperm. However, because the manifestation of 47XXY varies from person to person, this complete syndrome is not found in the majority of XXY's. Some men may have only a few of the characteristics described in that report. Thus, medical researchers prefer the term XXY when describing this condition. Some variations include 46XY/47XXY mosaicism; 48XXXY 48XXYY; and 46XX males, which is termed sex-reversal syndrome

Resources Definition Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosome disorder in males. People with this condition are born with at least one extra X chromosome. Description Klinefelter syndrome is a condition where one or more extra X-chromosomes are present in a male. Boys with this condition appear normal at birth. They enter puberty normally, but by mid puberty have low levels of testosterone causing small testicles and the inability to make sperm. Affected males may also have learning disabilities and behavior problems such as shyness and immaturity and at an increased risk for certain other health problems. Klinefelter syndrome is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities. About 1 in every 500 to 800 males is born with this disorder. Approximately 3% of the infertile male population have Klinefelter syndrome. Causes and symptoms Chromosomes are found in the cells in the body. Chromosomes contain genes, structures that tell the body how to grow and develop. Chromosomes are responsible for passing on hereditary traits from parents to child. Chromosomes also determine whether the child will be male or female. Normally, a person has a total of 46 chromosomes in each cell, two of which are responsible for determining that individual's sex. These two sex chromosomes are called X and Y. The combination of these two types of chromosomes determines the sex of a child. Females have two X chromosomes (the XX combination); males have one X and one Y chromosome (the XY combination).

Klinefelter Syndrome In The Sexologic And Psychiatric Practice Ilia Vrabchev, P. Christova, V. Milanov (summary) Klinefelter syndrome is observed often in young people. The authors have selected ten patients of the sexological consulting room, with Klinefelter syndrome. Three of them were with abnormal libido sexualis - with homosexual drive, while seven were with normal heterosexual libido sexualis, but with lessening of sexual drive or other sexual disturbances. The patients were diagnosed after complex examinations - serologic, psychiatric and somatic. They passed also routine paraclinic examinations, hormonal and spermogram examinations and psychologic testing. The hereditory characteristics were accounted as well. The terapeutic and psychoterapeutic behavior was determined by the individual problems of every one of the examined. The basic medicamental treatment consisted of tranquilizers, antidepressants, substitution andro-hormonal therapy, vitamines. The method of rational psychotherapy was used as well. The aim of the authors was to achieve psychosexual and psychosocial readaptation.

Home Medi News Medical Tidbits Interesting Topics ... Manbir Mail Klinefelter Syndrome Klinefelter syndrome is characterized by small, firm testes, azoospermia ( no sperm count ), gynecomastia, in men with two or more X chromosomes. The common karyotype is 47,XXY . They have elevated levels of plasma gonadotropins. They have male psychosexual orientation and function sexually as normal men. It is the most frequent major abnormality of sexual differentiation, the incidence being around 1 in 500 men. Before puberty the testes appear normal but are small. Gynecomastia (enlargement of breasts ) develops during adolescence, is generally bilateral and painless. Mean body weight is increased due to longer legs. Obesity and varicose veins occur in one-third to one-half. Mild mental deficiency, social maladjustment. Abnormal of thyroid functions, diabetes mellitus, and pulmonary disease may be present. The risk of breast cancer is 20 times that of normal men (but only about a fifth that in women) Treatment : Gynecomastia may need surgical treatment. Testosterone injections are needed.

KLINEFELTER'S SYNDROME Abstract The effects of an extra X chromosome in males causing physical and mental defects. This can occur in every 1 to 500 or 1 to 1000 male births. Klinefelter's may cause an extra sex chromosome , but it is widespread , the set of characters that may result from having the extra chromosome is not common. A lot of men may not even suspect that they have this extra chromosome. Besides breast enlargement , lack of facial and body hair and rounded body , XXY males are more likely to be overweight and tend to be taller than fathers and brothers. Some XXY males have a slight language impairment. Studies show that , although they will eventually speak , the majority end up having a difficulty with language throughout their lives. WHAT TO TELL FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND XXY BOYS Parents who have to deal with an XXY boy, have to make many choices. They have to decide on whether to tell anyone, and how to tell their son. Some experts recommend telling the child early. By the time he is ten or eleven years old , the child can be told that his cells differ slightly from those of other people. Later, the child can be told the specifics of his differences , and what he exactly has. When telling your child this information you must make sure that he understands what he has and let him know that he does not have a disease. He should also know that some people may not understand and he should be discrete about telling others. Dr. Robinson , the director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), believes XXY babies differ from other little children their age. They may start walking or talking at a later time than other children. They are shy and quiet . Some of these children may not fully talk until they are about five years old. Others may speak at a normal rate, and don't encounter any problems until they are in school.

Please Bookmark this Web Site! Welcome to the XXY list members home page! ** Friends..............You have become my PARACHUTE ** Charles Plum, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent six years in a Communist prison. He survived that ordeal and now lectures about lessons learned from that experience. One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!" "How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb. "I packed your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!" Plumb assured him, "It sure did if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today." Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform a Dixie cup hat, a bib in the back, and bell bottom trousers. I wondered how many times I might have passed him on the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you,' or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor."
