Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is a genetic condition that occurs in males when they have an extra X chromosome, resulting in a 47,XXY karyotype. This condition, named after Dr. Harry Klinefelter who first described it, is one of the most common chromosomal disorders affecting male reproductive and overall health. Individuals with Klinefelter Syndrome often exhibit symptoms such as reduced testosterone levels, infertility, gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue), and learning difficulties.
The diagnosis of Klinefelter Syndrome typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation and genetic testing. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing the symptoms and improving the quality of life for those affected by KS. Advances in genetic research and diagnostic techniques have enhanced our ability to provide comprehensive care for individuals with this condition.
