             One in five hundred to one thousand of male babies can be born with Klinefelter's.
             Syndrome. The cause of this is when the male has an extra X chromosome instead of normally.
             just one X and one Y chromosome. This becomes known as the XXY syndrome. Other males.
             may have an extra Y chromosome or more than two X and Y chromosomes. These males with.
             more than one extra chromosome have severe symptoms, which includes metal retardation. .
             It is hard for males with Klinefelter's Syndrome to be aware of the fact that they are.
             diagnosed with it. It usual goes undiagnosed until the male begins puberty. During this time.
             period, the male will realize that he is not fully developing his secondary male characteristics. This.
             includes not having growth in body hair, deeper voice, and size of testicles. This is a main problem.
             for the fact that it causes the boy not to produce testosterone, causing not enough sperm to have.
             children. Usually, males affected with Klinefelter's Syndrome will need special fertility methods in.
             order to father children. Three percent of infertile men are diagnosed with Klinefelter's Syndrome.
             Other problems due to Klinefelter's Syndrome are that males may have trouble with speech.
             development, verbal skills, and emotional and behavior problems. .
             Symptoms of Klinefelter's Syndrome do not come into role until puberty because they are.
             unnoticed until this stage. Since the male will produce low testosterone, during puberty due to.
             small growth of testicles, symptoms may include undeveloped muscles, almost no pubic, facial,.
             and body hair, and will have enlarged breast. About eighty percent of males with Klinefelter's.
             Syndrome will have this side affect. Mental abilities may include with having low average to.
