Disproportionate body appearances (long legs, short trunk, shoulder equal to hip size)<br />2. Abnormally large breasts in boys (gynecomastia) in 50 per cent<br />3. Infertility<br />4. Sexual problems - Sexual desire and ability to have erections impaired<br />5. Penis is small<br />6. Testes are small, insensitive and firmer than usual<br />7. Less than normal amount of pubic, armpit, and facial hair<br />8. Tall height<br />9. Weaker muscles<br />10. Language learning or reading impairment may be present<br />Diagnosis of Klinefelter Syndrome is often based on<br />1. Medical examination of appearance<br />2. Buccal smear for cells to test for chromosones<br />3. Karyotyping (checking the chromosomes)<br />4. Semen count<br />Blood tests will be done to check hormone levels such as:<br />5. Blood test for testosterone (low),<br />6. Blood follicle stimulating hormone (raised),<br />7. Blood luteinizing hormones (raised or normal)<br />8. Blood estradiol, a type of estrogen (raised)<br />9. Urinary gonadotropins are raised due to abnormal Leydig cell function<br />Treatment should focus on 3 major facets of the syndrome:<br />1. Hypo-gonadism,<br />2. Gynecomastia, and<br />3. Psychosocial problems<br />1. Male hormone treatment (testosterone) can help:</p><p>a. Grow body hair<br />b. Improve appearance of muscles<br />c. Improve concentration<br />d. Improve mood and self esteem<br />e. Increase energy and sex drive<br />f. Increase strength<br />In most cases testosterone is started at puberty, around age 12 years<br />Regular testosterone injections can also:<br />a. Increase strength and facial hair growth;<br />b. Improve a more muscular body type;<br />c. Raise sexual desire;<br />d. Enlarge the testes;<br />e. Improve mood, self-image, and behavior; and<br />f. Protect against precocious osteoporosis.<br />Testosterone therapy does not treat infertility or gynecomastia<br />Speech, physical and behavioral therapy helps.<br />Physical therapy is advised for boys with hypo-tonia or delayed gross motor skills that may involve muscle tone, balance, and coordination.<br />Occupational therapy is advised in boys with motor dyspraxia (a developmental disorder of the brain in childhood causing difficulty in activities requiring coordination and movement).</p><p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br />Introduction<br />Chapter 1 Klinefelter Syndrome<br />Chapter 2 Causes<br />Chapter 3 Symptoms<br />Chapter 4 Diagnosis<br />Chapter 5 Treatment<br />Chapter 6 Prognosis<br />Chapter 7 Lynch Syndrome<br />Chapter 8 Marfan Syndrome<br />Epilogue</p>...(*_*)9781370084647_<p>Klinefelter Syndrome is an inherited disorder of the sex chromosome in which an extra X chromosome is present (XXY)<br />Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic disorder that happens in males with an extra X chromosome.<br />It happens in males and is linked with hypo-gonads and infertility.<br />Klinefelter syndrome happens in about 1 out of 500 to 1,000 baby boys.<br />Cause<br />Normal people have 46 chromosomes.<br />Chromosomes hold all of the genes and DNA, the building blocks of the body.<br />The 2 sex chromosomes (X and Y) decide if the baby becomes a boy or a girl.<br />Girls normally have 2 X chromosomes.<br />Boys normally have 1 X and 1 Y chromosome.<br />Klinefelter syndrome occurs when a boy is born with at least 1 extra X chromosome.<br />Normally, this happens due to 1 extra X chromosome.<br />This is recorded as XXY.<br />The testis formation is involved leading to hypo-gonadism and low testosterone secretion.<br />Symptoms may be:</p><ol><li>Disproportionate body appearances (long legs, short trunk, shoulder equal to hip size)</li><li>Abnormally large breasts in boys (gynecomastia) in 50 per cent</li><li>Infertility</li><li>Sexual problems - Sexual desire and ability to have erections impaired</li><li>Penis is small</li><li>Testes are small, insensitive and firmer than usual</li><li>Less than normal amount of pubic, armpit, and facial hair</li><li>Tall height</li><li>Weaker muscles</li><li>Language learning or reading impairment may be present<br />Diagnosis of Klinefelter Syndrome is often based on</li><li>Medical examination of appearance</li><li>Buccal smear for cells to test for chromosones</li><li>Karyotyping (checking the chromosomes)</li><li>Semen count<br />Blood tests will be done to check hormone levels such as:</li><li>Blood test for testosterone (low),</li><li>Blood follicle stimulating hormone (raised),</li><li>Blood luteinizing hormones (raised or normal)</li><li>Blood estradiol, a type of estrogen (raised)</li><li>Urinary gonadotropins are raised due to abnormal Leydig cell function<br />Treatment should focus on 3 major facets of the syndrome:</li><li>Hypo-gonadism,</li><li>Gynecomastia, and</li><li>Psychosocial problems</li><li>Male hormone treatment (testosterone) can help:</li></ol><p>a.
