Klinefelter Syndrome
Klinefelter Syndrome is a syndrome in which a person has an additional X-chromosome. It is not life consuming, but rather people who have this syndrome can live perfectly normal lives proper treatment and care, if precautions are taken early on. Dr. Harry Klinefelter in 1942 first identified the syndrome. Now some may ask what Klinefelter syndrome is. Klinefelter syndrome is a syndrome in which a person inherits an extra X-chromosome making their genetic makeup xxy instead of the normal
How it occurs
This syndrome occurs by natural selection in which the condition arises from chromosomal nondisjunction during meiosis in this process, the 46 chromosomes in the cell separate, ululating producing two new cells having 23 chromosomes each. Before meiosis is completed, however, chromosomes pair with their corresponding chromosomes and exchange bits of genetic material. In women, X-chromosomes pair, in men, the X and Y-chromosomes separate, and meiosis continues. Otherwise it is not something that happens by the law of nature in which you are randomly chosen in its specific frame of how many times it happens, whom it affects, and how it happens. There is really no specific frame in which it invariably happens. It is known through that it happens during the process of meiosis in which chromosomes split.
WHO IT AFFECTS???
Klinefelter Syndrome only occurs in males. This is so because females have a similar condition called Turners Syndrome who generally has the same side effects as Klinefelter Syndrome.
PROGNOSIS
Common effects are; tall around six feet, small testes, inability to produce sperm, spare facial and body hair, and gynecomastia. A few associated conditions are:
• infertility
• incomplete masculinization
• osteoporosis
• communications difficulties
• frustration based outbursts
• motor skill issues
• developmental delays
Although these things are Klinefelter Syndrome, many doctors distinguish chromosomal anomalies. From any possible resulting
