• Polyuria

  A 25-year-old man with mental retardation presented with multiple skeletal abnormalities, polyuria and polydipsia. He had high glucose concentrations, without ketonuria, and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The patient was discharged 12 days after receiving treatment; meanwhile, there were no clinical symptoms of dry mouth, polyuria and polyuria, and his blood glucose level was controlled. 3 Discussion Klinefelter syndrome (KS) (47,XXY) is the most frequent [journals.lww.com]

• Expressive Aphasia

  We describe the neurocognitive profile and structural anatomy of language pathway in a 2-year-old boy with 49, XXXXY syndrome with expressive aphasia. Retrospective chart review of the patient was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Overview Many men are still diagnosed when, in the midst of leading normal lives, they have a karyotype or chromosome study as part of the workup for infertility. [medicalhomeportal.org]

• Ketonuria

  He had high glucose concentrations, without ketonuria, and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Ophthalmic examination revealed a polar cataract in both eyes and increased intraocular pressure in the left eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

After 12 months of treatment, we observed the normalisation of testosterone levels. [scienceopen.com]

Future research should focus on genotype-phenotype relationships and the development of evidence-based treatments. [genetic.org]

Finally, we discuss testosterone supplementation in the treatment of this syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment The patient was treated with hormonal replacement therapy. [edmcasereports.com]

Because the patient was hospitalized for a short period of time (the family asked to be discharged after 12 days of treatment), so there was a lack of further diagnostic tests and targeted treatments in this case. [journals.lww.com]

The effects of testosterone as evidenced by of acne scars, nocturnal emissions, would point to the presence of mosaicism in our patient and is can help in predicting prognosis and the ability to father children. [e-ijd.org]

Prognosis The condition is associated with an increased morbidity, resulting in the loss of approximately a two-year lifespan, with an increased mortality from many different diseases. [ 3 ] [patient.info]

Prognosis While many men with Klinefelter syndrome go on to live normal lives, nearly 100% of these men will be sterile (unable to produce a child). [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Prognosis Although the range of features is wide, most individuals with XXY will lead normal lives with a normal life expectancy. [medicalhomeportal.org]

Epidemiology It is the most common sex chromosome disorder, affecting 1 in 660 men. [ 3 ] Klinefelter's syndrome often goes undiagnosed in affected males. [patient.info]

To describe mortality in KS, we conducted an epidemiological study, using Danish registers covering the entire nation. [academic.oup.com]

Epidemiology Approximately one in 1,000 boys is born with an additional X chromosome—47,XXY, the karyotype that causes Klinefelter syndrome. 1 This karyotype is detected at or before birth in 10 percent of affected boys, and it is found during adulthood [aafp.org]

These males also tend to exhibit more immature behavior for their chronological age; increased aggressive tendencies were also cited in this study.[6] Pathophysiology[edit] As its name indicates, a person with the syndrome has one Y chromosome and four [en.wikipedia.org]

Dental management of a patient with 49,XXXXY syndrome is important to accomplish both controlling behavioral problems and medical considerations for preventing infective endocarditis. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

During cell division, an error called non-disjunction prevents the X chromosomes from being normally distributed among the reproductive cells as they are formed. [ivami.com]

It also prevents the testicles from producing normal amounts of sperm and the hormone testosterone. Testosterone affects the way a boy develops both physically and sexually. [kidshealth.org]

The syndrome cannot be prevented since the error is random and cannot be rectified once it happens. Males are affected by this syndrome. Unfortunately, no specific cure exists for xxxxy syndrome 49. [paktangle.com]
