Can a man with Klinefelter's Syndrome join the U.S. Military?
My friend, Frank, has Klinefelter's Syndrome. It's regular Klinefelter's, 47 XXY. He is in good physical condition and does not suffer from mental retardation.
He wanted to join the navy, but was turned away because he has Klinefelter's. He really wants to join the military, but will he be able to join other branches of the military (Guard, Airforce, Army, Coast)?
----------
In Klinefelter's syndrome one has sterility,gynaecomastia,and mental retardation.
I am afraid , he cannot join the military,nor to any branch of the military (

Could I have Klinefelter's syndrome?
I'm 17 and tall, and I have wide hips. I think I might have slight man breasts as well.
However I have body hair and some chest hair, which is still increasing. My shoulders are also quite muscular. My testicle size seems normal but I'm not too sure.
Do you think I have Klinefelter's syndrome?
----------
You have some of the markers for klinefelter's but not all. Is your penis small? The wide hips and wide shoulders points to klinefelter's. The gynecomastia(man's breasts) is also sign. It is a genetic problem with the xx from the woman and the xy from the man. You somehow end up with xxy. An extra x. Check with your doctor as hormone shots have been helpful. Also Klinefelter patients a re generally sterile. Sorry. You might want to see a fertility doctor.
God bless and hope it all works out for you. (

Klinefelter Syndrome question?
I'm currently writing a story and I am was contimplating brining in males with XXY sex chromsomes, otherwise known as Klinefelter Syndrome. My question is if all males with XXY show signs of learning problems, of it's it's possible for them to appear almost completly normal in their physical and mental functions. Any help is appreciated as I am trying to make sure my story is relativly accurate when it comes to this.
what I found about it was that they often have learning disabilities. *shrugs*
----------
There generally are no signs of this until the male reaches puberty. They do not have the increase in the male hormone testosterone that should normally occur when reaching puberty. Because of this:
1) Sparse pubic, facial, and body hair
2) Underdeveloped muscles
3) Enlarged breasts ( gynecomastia)
4) Taller than other males in their family, have long legs,
narrow shoulders and wide hips
5) Smaller than expected testicles and are infertile ( cannot
father children without using special fertility techniques
Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Concerns:
1) Language development; usually have delayed or slowly
developed speech skills and poor verbal skills
2) Critical thinking skills, problem solving, and the ability to
plan
3) Multi- tasking
4) Impulse control
5) Response time
They may also have emotional problems; shy or immature to
being overly anxious or aggressive
I hope that this useful and here's a great website:

What are the early stages of Klinefelter syndrome?
When is the onset of the disease?
----------
Klinefelter's syndrome is a condition that occurs in men who have an extra X chromosome in most of their cells.
As it's genetic it is present from birth
Some children may experience a slight delay in motor and language development, with two thirds having a delay in walking. A lag in verbal-intellectual skills, compared with nonverbal skills, may be apparent by the age of four years. By school age, an increased incidence of apraia (lack of coordination).
Although appearance is very variable, features include testicular dysgenesis (deformed testicles, infertility), microorchidism (small testicles) and gynacomastia (breasts. These clinical features are not usually present until mid to late adolescence.
Sorry to hold you up, had to walk dog. (
