When was Klinefelter's syndrome discovered?
Klinefelter's syndrome was first identified in 1942 by Harry Klinefelter and his colleagues. They described a group of men with underdeveloped testes and other characteristic features that became known as Klinefelter's syndrome.
Are klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome results of nondisjunction of autosomes?
No, Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome are the result of nondisjunction of sex chromosomes. Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome (XXY), while Turner syndrome is due to a missing X chromosome (XO).
Why do people with Klinefelter's syndrome and Turner's syndrome still exist in the population despite their infertility?
People with Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY) and Turner's syndrome (XO) can still have children through assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization. Additionally, many individuals with these syndromes may not be aware of their infertility at a young age when they may still have the opportunity to have children. These genetic conditions are also not always inherited, so they can arise independently in a population.
How many chromosomes are in klinefelter's syndrome?
Individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome have an extra X chromosome, resulting in a total of 47 chromosomes, with the usual sex chromosomes XX for females and XY for males being XXY in individuals with Klinefelter's syndrome.
What are the 3 major chromosomal disorders?
The three major chromosomal disorders are Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome. Down syndrome is characterized by an extra copy of chromosome 21, Turner syndrome involves a missing or incomplete X chromosome in females, and Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome in males.
What population groups tend to get Klinefelter syndrome?
Because people with Klinefelter syndrome have a Y chromosome, they are all male.
Does a hermaphrodite have klinefelter?
People with Klinefelter's syndrome are not hermaphrodites, and people who are hermaphrodites do not have Klinefelter's syndrome.
What genotypes cause Klinefelter's syndrome?
The only genotype to cause Klinefelter's syndrome is XXY.
Who discover klinefelter syndrome?

How many base pairs are in Klinefelter's syndrome?
there are five base pairs in klinefelter syndrome

Is klinefelter's syndrome a abnormality?
Klinefelter's syndrome is not considered to be a variation of normal, so by definition it is abnormal.
Does Klinefelter's syndrome affect a particular population or race?
No race is more likely to spontaneously have issues with meiosis, and as Klinefelter's is not hereditary (anyone with it is infertile and cannot pass on genes) no race will become more likely to have Klinefelter's syndrome. The population of older women who have children is more likely to have Klinefelter's babies. Older women are less likely to miscarry a baby with a chromosomal defect, so more Klinefelter's babies are born to them.
Which could be the genotype for a male suffering from Klinefelter's syndrome?
The genotype for a person suffering with Klinefelter's syndrome is XXY.
Are klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome results of nondisjunction of autosomes?
No, Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome are the result of nondisjunction of sex chromosomes. Klinefelter syndrome is caused by an extra X chromosome (XXY), while Turner syndrome is due to a missing X chromosome (XO).
What are the genotypes of two parents that pass on the klinefelter's syndrome?
The parents have normal genotypes, because Klinefelter's syndrome is not inherited.
