This condition is not inherited; it usually occurs as a random event during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm). An error in cell division called nondisjunction results in a reproductive cell with an abnormal number of chromosomes. For example, an egg or sperm cell may gain one or more extra copies of the X chromosome as a result of nondisjunction. If one of these atypical reproductive cells contributes to the genetic makeup of a child, the child will have one or more extra X chromosomes in each of the body's cells.

Mosaic 46,XY/47,XXY is also not inherited. It occurs as a random event during cell division early in fetal development. As a result, some of the body's cells have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (46,XY), and other cells have an extra copy of the X chromosome (47,XXY).

First a testicular biopsy should be done to determine if he has any viable sperm.

However, if he does not have any viable sperm, then you would need to use donor sperm to become pregnant. Hope this helps.

How is inheritance syndrome inherited?

Inheritance syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that a mutation in one copy of the affected gene is enough to cause the syndrome. This means that an affected individual has a 50% chance of passing the syndrome on to their offspring. Rarely, inheritance syndrome can also be inherited in an autosomal recessive or X-linked pattern.
