Primer on Aging MarketPlace RSS Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Klinefelter's Syndrome February 17, 2003 (Reviewed: February 23, 2004) Question I have a question about my sexuality. I was born with Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY). I get a shot of testosterone every 3 weeks but it does not seem to do much for my libido or anything else. I'm 65, have diabetes mellitus, and am on blood thinners (to prevent clotting in my legs) and I have poor circulation. I guess I should 'hang up my sexual hat', but I didn't find out about the XXY until I was 53, and I went through puberty at 54! Answer Even though you found out that you have Klinefelter's syndrome 11 years ago I'm wondering just how much your physician has explained to you. Here are a few remarks on it. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes found in each cell of the body, and each contain genes that determine our coloring, our features, and our sex. Women inherit two X chromosomes - one from each parent, written XX. Men inherit an X chromosome from their mothers and a Y chromosome from their fathers, written XY. The X chromosome determines whether a child is going to be a male or a female. X-chromosome mutations cause various human genetic disorders, such as Turner's syndrome and Klinefelter's syndrome.

What are the effects of Klinefelter's Syndrome? Testosterone is the most important androgen in men. Androgens are hormones responsible for the development of male characteristics such as hair and beard growth, penile growth, muscle gain, bone strength and fat distribution. Testosterone plays an essential role in reproductive and sexual function in men.

It is named after Dr. Harry Klinefelter, the medical researcher who first described this syndrome in 1942. Human males usually have an XY (The appearance of the chromosomal makeup of a somatic cell in an individual or species (including the number and arrangement and size and structure of the chromosomes)) karyotype . The XXY chromosome arrangement is one of the most common genetic abnormalities, occurring in about 1 in 1,000 male births, but the symptoms that may result from having the extra chromosome are less common. Because of this extra chromosome, individuals with the abnormality are usually referred to as "XXY Males" rather than as "suffering from Klinefelter's syndrome."

In Klinefelter's syndrome, the male has one or more extra X chromosomes . Males normally have one X and one Y chromosome. Males with Klinefelter's syndrome commonly have one extra X chromosome. In rare cases, some males with Klinefelter's syndrome have as many as three or four X chromosomes or one or more extra Y chromosomes. Many men with an extra X chromosome are not aware that they have it and go on to lead normal lives. Males with Klinefelter's syndrome may be described as XXY males or males with XXY syndrome. Klinefelter's syndrome occurs in about 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 males. What causes Klinefelter's syndrome? The reason some males have an extra X chromosome is most often a result of a mistake that occurs in the special cell division that produces sperm or eggs. What are the symptoms?

Human males usually have an XY karyotype. The XXY chromosome arrangement is one of the most common genetic abnormalities, occurring in about 1 in 1,000 male births, but the symptoms that may result from having the extra chromosome are less common. Because of this extra chromosome, individuals with the abnormality are usually referred to as "XXY Males" rather than as "suffering from Klinefelter's syndrome." In mammals with more than one X chromosome, the genes on all but one X chromosome are barred from being expressed. This happens in XXY males as well as XX females. A few genes, however, have corresponding genes on the Y chromosome and are not barred. These triploid genes in XXY males may be responsible for the symptoms of Klinefelter's syndrome. In adults, the syndrome is characterised by gynecomastia (enlarged breasts), a rounded body type with abnormal body proportions, sparse facial and body hair, small testes, and an inability to produce sperm. Most XXY males have some degree of language impairment as well. The syndrome is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, pulmonary disease, varicose veins, and osteoporosis.

Klinefelter's Syndrome Klinefelter's Syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality found in males. Most males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). Males with Klinefelter's Syndrom usually two X chromosomes (XXY) and sometimes more than 2. This chromosomal abnormality affects the normal development of sexual and physical characteristics of boys (see links for further information).
