Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of Klinefelter's syndrome, a condition that occurs in men who have an extra X chromosome in most of their cells. The syndrome can affect different stages of physical, language and social development. The most common symptom is infertility. Because they often don't make as much of the male hormone testosterone as other boys, teenagers with Klinefelter's syndrome may have less facial and body hair and may be less muscular than other boys. They may have trouble using language to express themselves. They may be shy and have trouble fitting in. It is important to start treatment as early as possible. With treatment, most boys grow up to have normal sex lives, successful careers and normal social relationships.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value!

Ses signes cliniques sont très nets, on observe un retard cognitif, associé à des modifications morphologiques particulières. C'est l'une des maladies transmises génétiquement les plus communes, avec une prévalence de 9,2 pour 10 000 naissances vivantes, aux USA. L'incidence est d'environ 1 pour 800 naissances, toutes grossesses confondues et varie en fonction de l'âge de la mère : environ 1/1500 à 20 ans, 1/900 à 30 ans et 1/100 à 40 ans.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Le syndrome de Klinefelter est une aneuploïdie qui se caractérise chez l'humain par un chromosome sexuel X supplémentaire. L'individu présente alors deux chromosomes X et un chromosome Y, soit 47 chromosomes au lieu de 46. L'individu est de caractère masculin mais potentiellement infertile. Ce syndrome a été décrit en 1942 mais son étiologie était alors inconnue. C'est en 1959 que l'origine chromosomique de ce syndrome fut découverte. Les origines de cette particularité se trouvent lors de la méiose des gamètesdes parents du sujet, lorsque les chromosomes sexuels ne se répartissent pas normalement. Un autre groupe nommé "mosaïque" trouve ses origines lors de la mitose. Ce groupe représente à peu près 10% des cas de syndrome de Klinefelter. Les individus dits "mosaïque" n'ont pas toutes les cellules atteintes par la particularité chromosomique et sont donc pour certains en mesure d'avoir desenfants. ... Read more
