About Klinefelter Syndrome

Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is also known as XXY Syndrome, 47, XXY Trisomy. It is a genetic and hereditary disorder or may occur randomly in the males, especially during the age of the formation of reproductive cells. It is a result of having an extra copy of X chromosomes in males, therefore, also known as XXY Syndrome or Trisomy. KS usually gets diagnosed during or after the age of puberty, or sometimes it may never be diagnosed. Normal humans have 46 chromosomes, classified into two types, X and Y. These are called sex chromosomes that decide the genetic sex of a person. But the male suffering from this ailment has 47 (commonly) or more (severe stage) chromosomes (X only), due to which, it is also called as 47 Syndrome. XX Chromosomes determine female sex and XY Chromosomes determine male sex. When a male has two X chromosomes, he is said to be suffered from KS Syndrome, and when he has more than two, it becomes a severe stage of the same (XXXY Syndrome). The causes and symptoms vary in different sufferers.
