Klinefelters Syndrome

Klinefelter's Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder affecting males, characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome (47,XXY). It occurs in approximately 1 in 1000 births, impacting individuals of all ages. Symptoms may include enlarged breasts, wider hips, and a larger face, along with lower testosterone levels leading to weaker bones and decreased energy. While treatment options are limited, awareness and understanding of this condition are crucial for those affected. The average life expectancy remains close to that of the general population.
