No. The main effects of klinefelter syndrome are development of small testicles, small penises, lower testosterone levels and reduced fertility
While that is true, there have been extreme advance in the use of fertility methods and while it isn't going to be 100% effective there is a higher chance than 0%.
Additionally, penis size is irrelevant when talking about fertility. Most Klinefelter's patients have normal sizes. The problem is called hypogonadism; reduced use of the testicles. The above poster is correct that with genetic counseling, there are relatively good chances of finding viable spermatozoa. I believe that early diagnosis is essential to finding and freezing the spermatozoa, which increases chances by a good amount. Source - I have it.

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.
