By definition Klinefelter's syndrome is genetically XXY. If there is any Y chromosome present, the baby will develop into a boy.

Even if a baby had XXXXY, it would still turn out as a boy.

The only way to be 100% sure if you have Klinefelter's syndrome is to get a genetic analysis done, but short of that you can compare yourself to the symptoms of a person with Klinefelter's to determine if you match that description. If you do match that description, then I would urge you contact your doctor to get a proper diagnosis.

Here are the more common symptoms occurring in Klinefelter's syndrome:

Infertility

Difficulty learning language

Deficits in cognitive executive functioning

Gynecomastia (male breast development)

Widened, rounded hips

Narrow shoulders

Tall, lanky build

Small testicles or small penis

Underdeveloped muscle mass

Little or no pubic, facial, or body hair

Decreased impulse control

Decreased ability to multi-task

Lengthened response time to a stimulus

Poor social skills

Increased risk for developing alcohol/drug abuse

Increased risk for developing psychiatric disorders

A karyotype is basically a chart of the number and structure of chromosomes. They can reveal ploidy differences (missing or additional chromosomes such as trisomy 21) or chromosomal mutations (like inversions, deletions, translocations etc)

If you desire to get screened for Klinefelter's syndrome, talk to your doctor. Depending on the relationship they have with the local lab they can either order the test for you, or they can refer you to an endocrinologist, who can order the test for you. The basic ways the diagnosis will be made is a combination of physical exam, hormone analysis, and chromosomal analysis. (the bloodwork/test - it is called karyotype.

Well you don't "get" it like you get a common cold. You are born with it due to a genetic mutation on your sex chromosomes causing the XXY gene instead of XY, like in a non-Klinefelter, male.

No. The main effects of klinefelter syndrome are development of small testicles, small penises, lower testosterone levels and reduced fertility

While that is true, there have been extreme advance in the use of fertility methods and while it isn't going to be 100% effective there is a higher chance than 0%.

Additionally, penis size is irrelevant when talking about fertility. Most Klinefelter's patients have normal sizes. The problem is called hypogonadism; reduced use of the testicles. The above poster is correct that with genetic counseling, there are relatively good chances of finding viable spermatozoa. I believe that early diagnosis is essential to finding and freezing the spermatozoa, which increases chances by a good amount. Source - I have it.

It could be a problem very early in development (during pregnancy). About 1/3 of all males with Klinefelter syndrome have other chromosome changes involving an extra X chromosome.

This syndrome isn't considered an inherited condition.

Klinefelter's syndrome is not hereditary. And males who have this disease are infertiled. It means that they can't produce offspring because they can make few sperms.

Pedigree Analysis helps one to come to know about his/her genetic make-up. One gets aware of his/her recessive or dominant traits. Person can be treated accordingly. If one comes to know that he carries a recessive trait of a particular genetic disorder he should marry a person who is also a carries of that disorder otherwise it will play havoc for the future generations.
