Causes of Klinefelter Syndrome
The additional sex chromosomes in men with Klinefelter syndrome results from nondisjunction during meiosis and may have a paternal (50 to 60 percent) or maternal (40 to 50 percent) origin. This contrasts with Down syndrome, which is caused predominantly by maternal nondisjunction and inheritance of the extra chromosome 21 from the mother.
