Klinefelter’s Syndrome Awareness Day

A group of glove puppets

Welcome to the first Klinefelter’s Syndrome Awareness Day – brought to you by the Klinefelter’s Syndrome Association (KSA).

It is 80 years since Harry Klinefelter identified the syndrome which we now know is caused by an extra X chromosome in males but 75% of those affected are still never diagnosed.

KS/XXY isn’t rare….but it is rarely diagnosed. Please help us change this by watching and sharing our great video by Jim (AJ) Howard, one of our trustees and his puppets.
