having the XY designs like a healthy man, they have an XXY pattern. The disorder is named
after Dr. Henry Klinefelter (Paulsen, Gordon & Carpenter, 2013).
The X chromosome contains genes that play a part in numerous organ systems, having an
impact, for instance, in the function of the testicles, mental health, and development. Physical
growth will most noticeably affect young adults. However, there are some detectable signs in
grown-ups and babies as well. Outcomes of an additional X chromosome, typically received
through a nondisjunction mistake amid parental gametogenesis, incorporate gynecomastia,
hypogonadism, and behavioral, psychosocial concerns (Aksglaede & Juul, 2013).
The inclusion of more than one additional Y or X chromosome to a typical male
karyotype brings about different physical and cognitive abnormalities. Cognitive and somatic
development will probably be influenced as well. An individual's mental capacity likewise
reduces with extra X chromosomes. The IQ score goes down by roughly 15 points for every
supernumerary X chromosome (Wosnitzer & Paduch, 2013). However, conclusions about
