Klinefelter syndrome primarily affects males, as it is caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males (typically resulting in a 47,XXY karyotype).

However, women may experience related genetic conditions or variations, but these are not classified as Klinefelter syndrome.

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.
