He was bothered by the breasts to the point of not wearing T-shirts and keeping himself covered at the beach. He states he walked with his hands covering his chest so that they were not seen. Gym activities embarrassed him. He did not have a hormonal workup before coming to my office. His breast examination revealed mild to moderate breast enlargement with primarily glandular tissue. His testicles were small. His pediatrician assisted with a work up that revealed Klinefelter's syndrome. This is a common cause of gynecomastia and genetic problem seen in males (1:500). Hypogonadism is a problem with small testicles and low hormone output. Some patients do not develop gynecomastia until after puberty.

69. My Klinefelter's Syndrome Page It was a long first year in junior college, and now I was going to go see a new doctor. Here we go again. The doctor looked at me with a concentrated expression. You've got breasts were his first words. I shall never forget his next line. Those are SYMPTOMS. http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/Castro/4998/klinefel.htm

I'm Not Fat, I'm Deformed: by David Brager My father kept saying that these would be the best years of my life: The years of junior and senior high were going to be the best that life could be. Such concepts gives Stephen King the power to inhibit the dreams of cheerleaders everywhere, and for me, not much better, for I was fat. Had I simply been fat, it would have been tolerable. But I went beyond fat. I had breasts, and everyone I knew seemed to know it. Everyone, that is, except the doctors I went to see. Year after year, from when I was 12 until I was 19, every new doctor said the same thing. "You're Fat. Go on a diet." I could almost read the minds of each one as I walked in their office for the first time. 'Hello Tubby' was written on every scowl and grimace. And year after year, the chants at school of "You need a bra" took me lower and lower down the path of self-defeat. It was a long first year in junior college, and now I was going to go see a new doctor. Here we go again. The doctor looked at me with a concentrated expression. "You've got breasts" were his first words. I shall never forget his next line. "Those are SYMPTOMS." Over the course of the next hour, he called my mom and got permission to have a rare and costly test done. He then ordered that they do a karotype (chromosome count) on me, as well as a hormone level test, and a sperm count. The test took a week, and the conclusion was not obesity. It was something totally alien to me, and apparently to all the other doctors I had seen.

Please Bookmark this Web Site! Welcome to the XXY list members home page! ** Friends..............You have become my PARACHUTE ** Charles Plum, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent six years in a Communist prison. He survived that ordeal and now lectures about lessons learned from that experience. One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!" "How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb. "I packed your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!" Plumb assured him, "It sure did if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today." Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform a Dixie cup hat, a bib in the back, and bell bottom trousers. I wondered how many times I might have passed him on the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you,' or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor."

Klinefelter's syndrome AN ORIENTATION PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF TURNER CONTACT GROUPS IN DENMARK CONTENTS Introduction The name Klinefelter's syndrome How frequent is Klinefelter's syndrome? What is the cause of Klinefelter's syndrome? ... Literature about Klinefelter's syndrome Introduction This booklet was written and published in the light of a tremendous need for further information on Klinefelter's syndrome. It is in no way an attempt of giving a complete description of all aspects of Klinefelter's syndrome. The booklet was written in order to give a better information to Klinefelter-boys and their parents as well as to adult males with Klinefelter's syndrome, but it is also our hope that it will be read by genetic counsellors, physicians, teachers and others who come into contact with boys and adult males with Klinefelter's syndrome. More information on all levels will, however, first and foremost be valuable to Klinefelter-males and their relatives. Publication by the Danish National Society of Turner Contact Groups should be seen as an expression of this society's wish to participate in the spreading of knowledge of Klinefelter's syndrome and create the possibility of establishing Klinefelter contact groups. Furthermore, to make an information, counselling and research center for people with Turner's syndrome and other sex chromosome abnormalities such as Klinefelter's syndrome, triple-X and XYY syndrome.

76. Klinefelter's Syndrome - Preliminary Draft klinefelter s syndrome. By the 1950 s, this condition, termed klinefelter s syndrome, was discovered to be the result of genetic misfunction. http://srv2.lycoming.edu/~newman/courses/bio22298/disorderpapers/Klinefelters/pr

Klinefelter's Syndrome There is a wide variety of symptoms of which any number may be expressed with varying severity. They include lack of secondary sexual characteristics, development of female characteristics, infertility, language impairment, and mental retardation. Mental retardation can be caused by Klinefelter Syndrome, but not in the usual 47, XXY karyotype. Instead, it results from multiple aneuploidies such as 48, XXXY; 48, XXYY; and 49, XXXXY (Robinson et. al., 1994). These individuals generally demonstrate more cognitive and behavioral problems, and therefore, can not be considered simultaneously with the more common 47, XXYcases (Utah Department of Health, 1993). Another possible variant is a mosaic individual which means that he possesses two or more different cell lines differing in the number of chromosomes (Robinson et. al., 1994). A mosaic Klinefelter male, which is much less common than the other types, would have a 46, XY/47, XXY karyotype. Klinefelter syndrome in these individuals can be more or less severe, depending on which cell line is used for the symptomatic traits. The prognosis for Klinefelter patients is bright in some areas and unclear in others. To deal with the lack of secondary sexual features and other problems caused by low quantities of testosterone, there is testosterone therapy. Testosterone should be administered starting at eleven to twelve years of age, when puberty normally begins. The benefit is a more normal appearance including weight gain, increased muscle mass, increased hair distribution, acne, and less feminization (Slywka, 1994). If the syndrome is diagnosed later in life, testosterone treatmentsshould still be helpful and effective and usually increase sex drive. These treatments are available in oral, injectable, and patch therapy form. If gynecomastia is already prevalent, breast reduction surgery is a feasible option.

77. Klinefelter's Syndrome - Description, Links And Books klinefelter s syndrome is found in approximately 1 of 700 men, ie there are approximately 3600 boys and men with klinefelter s syndrome in Denmark with 5 http://www.isn.net/~jypsy/klinefel.htm

Klinefelter's syndrome is found in approximately 1 of 700 men, i.e. there are approximately 3600 boys and men with Klinefelter's syndrome in Denmark with 5 million inhabitants. Men usually have but one X and one Y chromosome, i.e. the chromosome constitution 46,XY. Men with Klinefelter's syndrome have more than one X chromosome, usually two X chromosomes, i.e. the chromosome constitution 47,XXY. At birth the testicles of Klinefelter boys are of normal size. When the testicles grow quickly in boys with normal chromosomes at the age of 11-12 years, the testicles of Klinefelter boys stay very small, as a rule only 2 cms. from pole to pole. Usually only few sperms are developed in the testicles, and men with Klinefelter's syndrome are as a rule infertile. Boys with Klinefelter's syndrome should be treated with testosterone, usually from the 11 or 12 years of age, best with Restandol tablets (Testosteroneundecanoat), which does not affect the liver, or with injections of other testosterone preparations. Klinefelter boys more often than other boys have delayed motor function, speech, and maturation development, which does not make them patients demanding special treatment. It is important that these boys at an early age go to a good day-care institution, and that there is a close cooperation between parents and day-care institution staff. If the speech development is delayed, it is important to get help from a speech-therapist for a period. Regarding the motor function development, the participation of parent/child in sports activities and group activities of any kind is of great value. The same is the case with regard to stimulating the delayed development in maturation. In this connection it must be mentioned, that it is also important to stimulate these boys to independence, and not in any way to overprotect them.

In this article, "XXY" will refer to males who would previously have been considered to have Klinefelter's syndrome.
