摘要
Important medical conditions associated with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) are categorized as: 1) motor, cognitive, and behavioral dysfunction; 2) tumors; 3) vascular disease; and 4) endocrine/metabolic and autoimmune diseases. Earlier diagnosis of KS may lead to earlier intervention with effective treatment. (Fertil Steril (R) 2012;98:261-5. (C) 2012 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.)
