To find out if your son has Klinefelter syndrome, your doctor will ask
questions about his past health, do a physical exam, and order a
chromosome test called a karyotype.
In adult men, lab tests in addition to a karyotype may be done, such
as hormone tests or a semen analysis, if Klinefelter syndrome is
suspected.
If you are pregnant and at risk for having a child with Klinefelter
syndrome, tests may be done. Klinefelter syndrome can be detected
before birth (prenatally) through genetic tests on cells collected
fromamniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). But this is not
routinely done.
