Klinefelter's syndrome?!
Question: 1.what are the genetic causes for the disorder?
2.What are the effects of the disorder?
3.How common is the disorder? Is it more common in one group?
4.What factors increase the likelihood of this disorder?
5.is there a parental carrier for this disorder?
6.What does the karyotype look like for this disorder?
and anything else you can think of
first person with the most gets 10
thank you

1. The presence of an extra X chromosome in males most often occurs when cells split unevenly to produce eggs. But it can also occur when cells split unevenly to produce sperm
2. Males are almost almost sterile...small testicles, reduced fertility.
3. depending on where you look, 1 in 100 males or 1 in 500-800 males
4. No one knows what increases the likelihood of it. some think advanced maternal age could increase chances
5. No, but it is the X chromosome given by mother that splits
6.A karyotype is used to confirm the diagnosis. In this procedure, a small blood sample is drawn. White blood cells are then separated from the sample, mixed with tissue culture medium, incubated, and checked for chromosomal abnormalities, such as an extra X chromosome; mosaic 47,XXY or 46XY
6.
How about doing your own homework?
