Symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome
Klinefelter syndrome does not usually cause any obvious symptoms early in childhood, and even the later symptoms may be difficult to spot.
Many boys and men do not realise they have it.
Possible features, which are not always present, may include:
- in babies and toddlers – learning to sit up, crawl, walk and talk later than usual, being quieter and more passive than usual
- in childhood – shyness and low self-confidence, problems with reading, writing, spelling and paying attention, mild dyslexia or dyspraxia, low energy levels, and difficulty socialising or expressing feelings
- in teenagers – growing taller than expected for the family (with long arms and legs), broad hips, poor muscle tone and slower than usual muscle growth, reduced facial and body hair that starts growing later than usual, a small penis and testicles, and enlarged breasts (gynaecomastia)
- in adulthood – inability to have children naturally (infertility) and a low sex drive, in addition to the physical characteristics mentioned above
Health issues in Klinefelter syndrome
Most boys and men with Klinefelter syndrome will not be significantly affected and can live normal, healthy lives.
Infertility tends to be the main problem, although there are treatments that can help.
But men with Klinefelter syndrome are at a slightly increased risk of developing other health problems, including:
- type 2 diabetes
- weak and fragile bones (osteoporosis)
- cardiovascular disease and blood clots
- autoimmune disorders (where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body), such as lupus
- an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism)
- anxiety, learning difficulties and depression – although intelligence is usually unaffected
- male breast cancer – although this is very rare
These problems can usually be treated if they do occur and testosterone replacement therapy may help reduce the risk of some of them.
