It’s the most common chromosomal sex condition in men, yet few of us know anything about it. Klinefelters Syndrome,or 47xxy, affects about one in every six hundred men, though many are never diagnosed. Men with the condition are born with an extra sex chromosome, and suffer a variety of symptoms, including low testosterone levels, breast development, learning difficulties, infertility, and poor sex drive. Three men with Klinefelters Syndrome, and a parent whose son has the condition, discuss what it's like to be 47xxy.
It will air on Sunday March 5th - and can be heard online or downloaded from:
