Presentation
Humans have 46 chromosomes, present as 23 pairs. Twenty-two pairs are found in both sexes (autosomes) and one pair (sex chromosomes) is present as either XY (in males) or XX (in females). [labtestsonline.org]
This presents a great challenge in the clinical assessment of phenotypes, in particular when found in prenatal samples. [oncohemakey.com]
These triploid genes present in cells of male, may be what is causing the symptoms for Klinefelter syndrome. Some (about 10%) males have only the extra X chromosome present in some of their cells. [wikilectures.eu]
Common female sex chromosome anomaly disorders include Turner syndrome, where only one copy of the X chromosome is present (X0), and multiple X chromosome syndromes, such as triple X syndrome (XXX), XXXX syndrome or XXXXX syndrome. [diseaseinfosearch.org]
Numerical disorders Some examples of numerical disorders include: Klinefelter's syndrome Klinefelter’s syndrome occurs in males when one or more extra copies of the X chromosome is present. [news-medical.net]

Some are deadly — about half of all miscarriages are due to chromosomal defects, Hunt said. But some are compatible with live birth, including trisomies such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome and Patio syndrome, Hunt said. [livescience.com]

Workup
Many will go undiagnosed until maturity as adults undergoing infertility workups. Fetuses are typically identified during amniocentesis performed for advanced maternal age. They are not normally identified because of an abnormal ultrasound finding. [chw.org]

But a number of treatments can help: Growth hormone, either alone or with other hormone treatment, may improve growth and will usually increase final adult height — often into the normal range if treatment is started early enough. [kidshealth.org]
Some XXY males can also benefit fromfertility treatment to help them father children. One of the most important factors for all types of treatment is starting it as early in life as possible. [medicinenet.com]
Standard treatment for milder forms of clubfoot involves gentle manipulation and casting of the feet over several weeks then wearing a brace for several years. Treatment for more severe forms requires surgery. [source.wustl.edu]
Prognosis
Complications Heart defects, diabetes, low thyroid hormone [1] Usual onset At birth [1] Duration Long term Causes Missing X chromosome [2] Diagnostic method Physical signs, genetic testing [3] Medication Human growth hormone, estrogen replacement therapy [4] Prognosis [en.wikipedia.org]
The wide phenotypic variation and lack of long term follow-up reports in current literature make definitive prognosis for genetic counseling more challenging and problematic. [molecularcytogenetics.biomedcentral.com]
Treatment is completely dependent on the disorder or syndrome, the prognosis of the disorder and parental wishes. Some disorders have very short life expectancies for which treatment would not be beneficial. [chw.org]
