No, they cannot reproduce because they start developing hormones late in life therefore their sperm is infertile, and they have a small penis, redering them unable to have sex. which means no babies.

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.

Is Klinefelter's syndrome preventable?
Not really. Klinefelter's Syndrome is a genetic issue and as such is NOT preventable at our current level of technology. I guess it may be possible to check the gene of a foetus and abort if the genotype indicates the condition but that is way too harsh a solution as Klinefelters does not necessarily mean a significantly reduced quality of life for sufferers. What is relatively easy to address is the symptoms of Klinefelters and the 'golden standard' for treatment is the application of testosterone. A site that tells you all about Klinefelters is: http://www.klinefeltersyndrome.us/symtomsinboy.html (symptoms in boys) they also have a page on the symptoms in men and another on treatment of symptoms.
