Abstract excerpt
The phenotypic variation of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is wide and may by caused by various genetic and epigenetic effects. Skewed inactivation of the supra-numerical X chromosome and polymorphism in the androgen receptor (AR) have been suggested as plausible causes. We wanted to describe X-chromosome inactivation patterns and the AR polymorphism and correlate these to clinical findings in KS in a cross-sectional...
