The genotype for Klinefelter's is XXY, so the outward appearance is a male with some feminine features like breast development, less facial hair, small testes, and infertility.

Can animals get klinefelters or turners syndrome as humans do?

Yes animals do sometimes have Turner's syndrome or Klinefelter's syndrome with similar characteristics as those observed in humans.


What does klinefelters syndrome come from what type of mutation?

Nondisjunction, or sending both chromosomes to one cell during meiosis.


Compare and contrast Turners syndrome and Klinefelters syndrome?

With Turner's Syndrome, the females actually have 1 less chromosome, not an extra one or sometimes only part of the X chromosome is missing. Klinefelter's syndrome, 47, XXY, or XXY syndrome is a condition in which human males have an extra X chromosome. While females have an XX chromosomal makeup, and males an XY, affected individuals have at least two X chromosomes and at least one Y chromosome.


What type of disorder is klinefelters syndrome gene or chromosomal?

Chromosomal, because the person with Klinefelter's would have 47 chromosomes. A genetic disorder would be any disorder having to do with genes, but would not necessarily mean having an extra chromosome.


What is the future look out for people with klinefelters syndrome?

Most of the Klinefelter Syndrome affected persons can lead a life which could be considered as normal. However, they might have certain problems related to sexual organs, (among others), and some, - but not all -, could be infertile. The reason for this is their extra chromosome. Females have XX chromosomes, Males have XY chromosomes, and Klinefelter syndrome affected males have XXY chromosomes. They often are prescribed testosterone therapy. More info could be found on related links.

Can a male with klinefelters syndrome produce a baby without klinefelters syndrome?

First a testicular biopsy should be done to determine if he has any viable sperm. Some men with this condition do have some viable sperm in their testicles and if he does, in-vitro fertilization may be a possibility. However, if he does not have any viable sperm, then you would need to use donor sperm to become pregnant. Hope this helps.
