“…Mirkinson and colleagues 12 published a case of KS and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The patient, a 16‐year‐old Caucasian male, was referred for evaluation of a 3‐year history of bilateral “claw hand” and diffuse morning stiffness of the proximal and distal phalanges of both hands.…”

The article summarizes reports on the concurrence of Klinefelter's syndrome (KS) with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, mixed connective tissue disease, the antiphospholipid syndrome, and ankylosing spondylitis. These include two case reports of patients with KS concurrently associated with RA or antisynthetase syndrome, respectively, previously reported by the author and his coworkers. Attention is paid to the pathogenesis and the course of the disease in patients with KS. The importance of early diagnosis of the syndrome, when occurring simultaneously with other diseases of connective tissue, is emphasized.

“…Even before puberty, genital abnormalities (e.g., small testes) sometimes are present, as is infertility among nearly all men with KS. Autoimmune diseases (e.g., juvenile arthritis) seem to be overrepresented (Mirkinson, Ceruti, & Katona, 2005).…”

Psychoeducational implications of sex chromosome anomalies.

Numerous anomalies involving the sex chromosomes (X or Y) have been documented and their impact on development, learning, and behavior studied. This article reviews three of these disorders, Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Lesch-Nyhan disease. Each of these three is associated with one or more selective impairments or behavioral abnormalities. The origin of these disorder-specific impairments is becoming progressively understood at the level of genetics, central nervous system structures and functions, and neurotransmitter action. Accordingly, knowledge of the three disorders is important not only to help practitioners provide services for affected students but also to enhance their general understanding of the physiological influences on behavior.
