Confirming diagnosis
Typical clinical features suggest Klinefelter's syndrome, but only a karyotype (chromosome analysis) determined by culturing lymphocytes from the patient's peripheral blood can unequivocally confirm the disorder.
Characteristically, Klinefelter's syndrome decreases urinary 17-ketosteroid levels, increases the excretion of follicle-stimulating hormone, and decreases the levels of plasma testosterone after puberty.
