XXY refers to Klinefelter syndrome, a genetic condition that affects males. It occurs when a male inherits an extra X chromosome, resulting in a karyotype of 47,XXY instead of the typical 46,XY. This extra chromosome disrupts typical development, causing a variety of physical and developmental effects. Let me know if you’d like to learn more about Klinefelter syndrome.
