Traits that often appears by
sufferers of klinefelter syndrome is the change in sound is generally small,
not to sound grown pubic hair and usually are often not fertile (infertile)
caused by the addition of the X chromosome; for example, some genes determine
height and hair color. Another gene affects language skills and reproductive
functions. Each person usually has 23 pairs of chromosomes. One of these pairs
(sex chromosomes) determines the gender of a person. A baby with two X
chromosomes (XX) is a baby girl. A baby with one X chromosome and one Y
chromosome (XY) is the baby boy.

have no symptoms, but doctors will be able to see the physical traits of the
syndrome. Many men who are not diagnosed until puberty or adult hood. As much
as two-thirds of men with the syndrome may never be diagnosed. Many men with
klinefetler mosaic syndrome have some clear signs except the testes is very
small.
The Diagnosis is based on
physical examination, tests and analysis of chromosomes, hormones. This
syndrome can also be diagnosed before birth but testing isn't done routinely at
that time. Clinical symptoms of klinefelter syndrome is characterized by the
development of sexual characteristics that are abnormal or not progressing,
such as the testes are small and aspermatogenesis (failure to produce sperm).
Small testes caused by testicular germinal cells and cell interstital fails to
develop normally. interstital cell is a cell that is in between the cells of
gonads and male sex hormones may determine. In addition, people with the
syndrome also experience deficiency or deficiency of androgen hormones, body
height, increased levels of gonadotropin, and gynecomastia.
Klinefelter patients will
experience impaired coordination exercise, such as jumping, balance
difficulties, and the movement of the motor body is slowing down. Seen from the
outside, the physical appearance of people with klinefelter has muscles that
are small, but experienced a lengthening of legs and arms. In addition to
laboratory examination can be done by checking the hormones FSH, Testoterone,
Esterogen, and LH.

should be seen by a team of health care providers. Treatment can help a man
overcome many physical problems, social and learning problems that are part of
the syndrome. Health teams involved include endocrinologists, general
practitioners, pediatricians, speech therapist, Urologist, genetic counselors,
and psychologists. Surgery may be needed to reduce the size of the breast. With
treatment, people can live a perfectly normal life.
Doctors usually recommend this
inspection if the patient has signs of reproductive disorders or the pituitary
gland. In some situations, these tests are also conducted to confirm menopause.
FSH tests are usually performed to help diagnose problems with sexual
development and fertility, menstrual, and is also indicated for patients with
klinefelter syndrome are male with testes that did not develop and infertility.
