Normal humans have 46 chromosomes (23 from each parent). Males with Klinefelter's Syndrome have 47 chromosomes and therefore have acquired an extra chromosome from a parent (hopefully a more knowledgeable contributor will say if it is from the male or female parent). A lot of studies have been done on the male calico cat. Back in the 1980's if one found a male calico cat that was NOT sterile, the cat was worth about 30K... a lot of money for that time period. I am not sure if similar hunts are currently underway.

Compare and contrast Turners syndrome and Klinefelters syndrome?
With Turner's Syndrome, the females actually have 1 less chromosome, not an extra one or sometimes only part of the X chromosome is missing. Klinefelter's syndrome, 47, XXY, or XXY syndrome is a condition in which human males have an extra X chromosome. While females have an XX chromosomal makeup, and males an XY, affected individuals have at least two X chromosomes and at least one Y chromosome.

However, they might have certain problems related to sexual organs, (among others), and some, - but not all -, could be infertile. The reason for this is their extra chromosome. Females have XX chromosomes, Males have XY chromosomes, and Klinefelter syndrome affected males have XXY chromosomes. They often are prescribed testosterone therapy.

Klinefelters Syndrome
Can a male with klinefelters syndrome produce a baby without klinefelters syndrome?
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.
