KLINEFELTER SYNDROME: ETIOLOGY AND PREVENTION
Abstract
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is one of the most common sex chromosome aneuploidies affecting males and is most frequently characterized by the 47,XXY karyotype. The condition is associated with hypogonadism, infertility, metabolic disorders, and neurocognitive impairments. Despite its relatively high prevalence, Klinefelter syndrome often remains underdiagnosed. This article provides an evidence-based overview of the etiology, genetic mechanisms, clinical significance, diagnostic approaches, and preventive strategies related to Klinefelter syndrome, in accordance with contemporary medical literature.
