• #1 Klinefelter syndrome – Diagnosis and treatment – Mayo Clinic

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/klinefelter-syndrome/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20353954

  If you or your child is diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome, your healthcare team may include a doctor called an endocrinologist who specializes in conditions involving the body’s glands and hormones. Your team also may include a speech therapist, a pediatrician, a physical therapist, a genetic counselor, a reproductive medicine or infertility specialist, and a counselor or psychologist. […] Although there’s no way to repair the sex chromosome changes due to Klinefelter syndrome, treatments can help lessen its effects. The earlier the condition is diagnosed and treatment is started, the greater the benefits. But it’s never too late to get help. […] Treatment for Klinefelter syndrome is based on symptoms and may include: […] Testosterone therapy. Starting at the time of the usual onset of puberty, testosterone therapy can be given to help stimulate changes that typically occur at puberty. These changes include a deeper voice, facial and body hair, bigger muscle mass, and sexual desire. Testosterone therapy also can help bone density. It may help mood, focus and attention too. Testosterone therapy does not help with fertility problems.

  Its important to remember that because symptoms can be mild, many males with KS are never diagnosed or treated. […] The earlier in life that KS symptoms are recognized and treated, the more likely it is that the symptoms can be reduced or eliminated. It is especially helpful to begin treatment by early puberty. […] The type of treatment needed depends on the type of symptoms being treated. […] About half of males with XXY chromosomes have low testosterone levels. These levels can be raised by taking supplemental testosterone. Testosterone treatment can: Improve muscle mass, Deepen the voice, Promote growth of facial and body hair, Help the reproductive organs to mature, Build and maintain bone strength and help prevent osteoporosis in later years, Produce a more masculine appearance, which can also help relieve anxiety and depression, Increase focus and attention.

  Early identification and anticipatory guidance are extremely helpful in Klinefelter syndrome. Management and treatment should focus on 3 major facets of the syndrome: hypogonadism, gynecomastia, and psychosocial problems. […] Androgen (testosterone) replacement therapy is an important aspect of treatment. Historically, testosterone replacement was started at puberty, around age 12 years, with the dose increased over time, until it was sufficient to maintain age-appropriate serum concentrations of testosterone, estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). Currently, the Association for X and Y Chromosome Variations (AXYS) advocates for close monitoring of development and progression of puberty, in order to properly determine if and when testosterone treatment should be initiated.

  Testosterone treatment significantly reduces mortality among men with Klinefelter syndrome. […] Now, a Danish study reveals that testosterone treatment not only improves quality of life-it can also save lives. […] This is the first study of its kind and shows that testosterone treatment nearly halves the mortality rate among men with KS. […] This is an extremely important discovery because it means that we can save lives by providing the right treatment. Today, only half of diagnosed men with KS receive the necessary testosterone therapy. […] The study confirms that testosterone therapy does not increase the risk of serious cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks, or strokes. […] „It is important to emphasize that the benefits far outweigh the potential drawbacks. The reduction in mortality is so significant that it outweighs concerns about a potential increased risk of heart failure,” says Simon Chang. […] Simon Chang anticipates that the study’s results will directly influence these guidelines, potentially improving, prolonging, and saving lives for many men with KS. […] „We expect the new guidelines to recommend initiating testosterone treatment as soon as the diagnosis is made,” he concludes.

  Klinefelter syndrome treatments may include: […] Hormone replacement. […] Therapy. […] Treatment for other medical conditions. […] Surgery, which is rare for people with this condition. […] Replacing the testosterone hormone can help minimize some of the symptoms of the condition. […] Healthcare providers usually recommend testosterone injections in children and teens. […] Adults may receive other types of treatment, including: testosterone gels, testosterone patches, testosterone subcutaneous pellets. […] If you have Klinefelter syndrome, you can benefit from different types of therapy. […] Children with Klinefelter syndrome may also need changes in their classrooms or learning environments. […] If the excess breast tissue bothers you, your healthcare provider may recommend gynecomastia surgery to remove the extra tissue.

  https://www.ksa-uk.net/for-professionals/treatment/

  Hormone replacement treatment […] If testosterone levels are below the normal range, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is typically prescribed. […] This is generally in the form of testosterone administered by gel or injection. There is no ideal method of testosterone delivery – it is often down to individual choice. The best method for any patient will depend on their own personal circumstances. […] Some will find the routine of daily gel application difficult while some may dislike the highs and lows of the injections. […] Testosterone replacement will not improve fertility. In fact most urologists say that, if fertility procedures are being considered, then testosterone replacement therapy should be delayed. […] Sometimes no medication will be required if natural testosterone levels are sufficiently high. Some adults may not wish to have hormone treatment because they don’t like the effect that testosterone has on them. Occasionally the use of oestrogen may be preferred.

• #7 Klinefelter syndrome

  Infertility tends to be the main problem, although there are treatments that can help. […] These problems can usually be treated if they do occur and testosterone replacement therapy may help reduce the risk of some of them. […] Treatment can help reduce some of the symptoms if necessary. […] Possible treatments include: testosterone replacement therapy, speech and language therapy during childhood to help with speech development, educational and behavioural support at school to help with any learning difficulties or behaviour problems, occupational therapy to help with any co-ordination problems associated with dyspraxia, physiotherapy to help build muscle and increase strength, psychological support for any mental health issues, fertility treatment options include artificial insemination using donor sperm or possibly intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), where sperm removed during a small operation are used to fertilise an egg in a laboratory, breast reduction surgery to remove excess breast tissue.

  The dose used in the patient’s hormonal therapy needs to be tailored to the patient to sufficiently maintain the appropriate concentrations of testosterone, estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) for the patient’s appropriate age. There are various formulations available, including an injection, gel, or patch. The treatment will need to continue for the lifetime of the patient to maintain control over their symptoms. […] Not all males with Klinefelter syndrome will require testosterone therapy. Some patients only have a slightly reduced level of testosterone; therefore, the benefits of therapy may not justify the risk of the medication. Side effects of hormonal androgen therapy may include acne, skin rash, breathing problems, and an increased risk of an enlarged prostate gland or prostate cancer in later years.

• #9 Klinefelter’s Syndrome Association (KSA)

  https://www.ksa-uk.net/for-professionals/treatment/

  It is important that testosterone and haematocrit levels are monitored carefully until a stable dose is established. After that annual checks should continue. […] As with most drugs, there are pros and cons. […] Possible positive effects of TRT can have very positive effects, although the extent of these will vary from person to person. The most common are: increased assertiveness, improved self esteem, clarification of thought processes, growth of facial and body hair, possible reduction in danger of osteoporosis, possible improvement in muscle bulk, increased stamina. […] Possible negative effects include: some adults dislike the masculinising effect testosterone will have on their personality and body, untreated KS adults have a reduced risk of prostate cancer compared to XY men. TRT will remove this advantage. The prostate should be checked before treatment is started and should be monitored, testosterone is known to increase the red blood cell count. This can be a problem if testosterone levels are not monitored, increased aggression particularly soon after injections when levels are high, mood swings when levels are high or low, increased probability of male pattern baldness, acne.

  Androgen replacement therapy corrects androgen deficiency; hence, the treatment promotes normalization of body proportions and development of normal male secondary sex characteristics. Regularly scheduled testosterone injections promote strength and facial hair growth; build a more muscular body type; increase sexual desire; enlarge the testes; improve mood, self-image, and behavior; and protect against precocious osteoporosis. […] A study by Samango-Sprouse et al suggested that early hormonal therapy (EHT) can improve social behavior in boys with Klinefelter syndrome. […] A double-blind, randomized trial by Ross et al of low-dose androgen treatment in prepubertal boys with KS found improvement at 24 months in visual-motor function, with secondary analyses indicating that androgen therapy had also positively impacted anxiety, depression, and social problems.

  However, there are no large randomized placebo-controlled studies available to date to justify this assessment, and as a result the timing of initiation of testosterone treatment in KS still represents an area for further investigation, since indications of a possible benefit from testosterone treatment already during infancy have also been put forward. […] Specifically, new studies with treatment early in life have shown promising results in improving behavior and neurodevelopment and could thus have an overall positive effect on social integration. […] Of note, from observational and nonrandomized studies some positive effects of testosterone treatment in KS have been documented, including improved libido, decreased fatigue, improved endurance and strength and also an overall improved mood with less irritability and better sleep.

• #12 Klinefelter’s Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

  https://patient.info/mens-health/klinefelters-syndrome-leaflet

  Treatment includes testosterone replacement. This can help improve some of the symptoms but does not have an effect on fertility. […] The main treatment for KS is with testosterone to boost the low levels. Ideally, testosterone replacement should begin at puberty and is needed lifelong. Testosterone can help to: Increase your strength and build a more muscular body type. Increase facial and pubic hair growth. Increase your libido (sex drive). Enlarge your testes. Improve your mood and self-esteem. Protect against 'thin bones’ (osteoporosis). Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. […] However, testosterone treatment does not have any effect on your fertility. It also has little effect on breast tissue development (gynaecomastia). […] Gynaecomastia can be a troubling problem for males with KS. Sometimes men choose to have surgery to remove the breast tissue.

  Chromosomal abnormalities due to KS cannot be corrected, and there is no cure. However, treatment can be effective in reducing symptoms. […] While early diagnosis will help manage some of the chronic aspects of KS, it is never too late to start treatment for KS. Treatment can bring benefits at any age and may include the following: […] Testosterone replacement therapy […] Treatment is usually in the form of an injection, pills, gel, or a patch. Testosterone replacement therapy improves, strength, body hair growth, energy, and concentration. […] Starting treatment early, usually at the onset of puberty, can prevent the long-term effects of reduced testosterone production. […] Testosterone therapy does not improve testicle size or fertility. […] Fertility treatment […] Between 95 and 99 percent of males with KS are infertile because they do not produce enough sperm to fertilize an egg. However, more than 50 percent of males with KS do have sperm.

  https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4425/14/7/1402

  47,XXY, also known as Klinefelter syndrome, is the most commonly occurring sex chromosomal aneuploidy (SCA). Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) has been associated with improved neurodevelopmental capabilities in boys with 47,XXY, although studies investigating HRT’s possible positive effect on behavioral outcomes are scarce. […] The treated groups were found to have better scores in emotional control, initiative, organization of materials, behavioral rating index, metacognition index, and global executive composite than the untreated group on the BRIEF. […] These results offer evidence that HRT, specifically the combination of both EHT and HBT, may be successful in mitigating some undesirable behavioral outcomes. […] Although it varies by individual, the neurodevelopmental profile typically consists of developmental delay, language-based learning disabilities, neuromotor complications, developmental dyspraxia, early speech delays, and neuromotor dysfunction.

  https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4425/14/7/1402

  Recently, research has focused on two forms of HRT with different timings of administration: early hormonal treatment (EHT) and hormonal booster therapy (HBT). […] The positive impact of hormonal replacement therapy on various areas of development has led to the current exploration of its interaction with behavior in boys with 47,XXY. […] This study supports and expands upon the finding that HRT may be a beneficial treatment in improving negative behavioral outcomes in boys between 7 and 12 years old with 47,XXY, particularly when both EHT and HBT are administered. […] These findings support the hypothesis that a combination of EHT and HBT may mitigate undesired externalizing outcomes and reduce maladaptive behaviors. […] Our findings offer evidence for the efficacy of both EHT and HBT in mitigating internalizing and externalizing behaviors in this population.

  However, it’s important to be aware of potential risks and side effects associated with testosterone treatment. These may include acne, fluid retention, sleep disturbances, and in some cases, the risk of blood clots. Discuss these potential risks with your healthcare provider and have regular check-ups to monitor your hormone levels and overall health. […] Overall, testosterone treatment can be an effective option for managing the symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome. It can help improve physical and psychological well-being, enhance muscle strength, and increase energy levels. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential to determine your most appropriate treatment plan and ensure that potential risks are properly managed. […] When it comes to managing Klinefelter syndrome, a comprehensive treatment approach is often the most effective way to address the various symptoms and challenges associated with the disorder.

  Males taking testosterone treatment should work closely with an endocrinologist, a doctor who specializes in hormones and their functions, to ensure the best outcome from testosterone therapy. […] Not all males with XXY condition benefit from testosterone therapy. […] No approved drug treatment exists for this condition of overdeveloped breast tissue, termed gynecomastia. Some health care providers recommend surgery called mastectomy to remove or reduce the breasts of XXY males. […] Between 95% and 99% of XXY men are infertile, because they do not produce enough sperm to fertilize an egg naturally. But sperm are found in more than 50% of men with KS. Advances in assistive reproductive technology (ART) have made it possible for some men with KS to conceive. One type of ART, called testicular sperm extraction with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (TESE-ICSI), has shown success for XXY males.

  Breast tissue removal. If extra breast tissues develops, the tissue can be removed by a plastic surgeon, if desired. […] Therapy. Speech and language therapy can help if there are speech or language problems. Physical therapy can help with motor skills and muscle strength. Occupational therapy can help with social skills and job skills. […] Educational evaluation and support. If learning and socializing are a problem, extra services may help. Talk to your child’s teacher, school counselor or school nurse about what kind of support is available. […] Fertility treatment. Most people with Klinefelter syndrome cannot have biological children because few or no sperm are made in the testicles. For some people who make a small amount of sperm, a procedure called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may help. During ICSI, sperm is taken from the testicle with a biopsy needle and injected directly into the egg.

  Testosterone replacement therapy is the mainstay of treatment and improves many aspects of KS, but not fertility or gynaecomastia. If KS is diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, the timing of commencement of testosterone therapy is based on factors such as a rising LH level, as well as parameters of growth and virilisation through puberty and/or presence of gynaecomastia. Testosterone therapy is continued lifelong, with ongoing monitoring throughout. […] If fertility treatment is desired, depending on the patients age at diagnosis and if azoospermia is confirmed, consideration should be given to surgical sperm retrieval via microTESE before testosterone therapy is started or after about six months withdrawal in men already on testosterone replacement therapy. […] For men with KS who desire to have children, there are two main options: donor sperm use of sperm from a known or anonymous donor and microTESE with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

  As the genetic variation is irreversible, no causal therapy is available. From the onset of puberty, the existing testosterone deficiency can be compensated by appropriate hormone-replacement therapy. Testosterone preparations are available in the form of syringes, patches, or gel. If gynecomastia is present, the surgical removal of the breast may be considered for psychological benefits and to reduce the risk of breast cancer. […] The use of behavioral therapy can mitigate any language disorders, difficulties at school, and socialization. An approach by occupational therapy is useful in children, especially those who have dyspraxia. […] Methods of reproductive medicine, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with previously conducted testicular sperm extraction (TESE), have led to men with Klinefelter syndrome producing biological offspring. By 2010, over 100 successful pregnancies have been reported using in vitro fertilization technology with surgically removed sperm material from men with KS.

  Recent studies suggest that collecting sperm from adolescent XXY males and freezing the sperm until later might result in more pregnancies during subsequent fertility treatments. […] Some, but not all, children with KS have language development and learning delays. […] Various interventions, such as speech therapy and educational assistance, can help to reduce and even eliminate these difficulties. The earlier treatment begins, the better the outcomes. […] Boys and men with KS can benefit by visiting therapists who are experts in areas such as coordination, social skills, and coping.

[…] Sufficient testosterone is not only important in the adult but also during puberty and adolescence for a normal virilization and to improve body composition and body proportions, as well as to maximize peak bone mass acquisition. It has therefore been internationally accepted and makes biological sense to consider testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) during puberty in KS. […] We therefore aim at evaluating the effect of 2 years TRT during early puberty in boys with KS aged 10 to 14 years in this national, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention study. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the effect on body fat mass. The secondary endpoints are to evaluate effects on lipid and glucose metabolism, growth and body proportions, bone mineralization as well as effects on neurocognitive development and emotional and social difficulties.
