After the patient has noticed the breast enlargement, and severe social anxiety (due to being out of social norms) and depression they are treated for such, for example terstone injection, anti-depressants, etc. If a male with this disorder would want to reproduce a doctor would surgically remove their sperm and insert it into the female. Over 100 pregnancies have been successful with this treatment.

It is neither dominant or recessive, by merely an error in paternal or maternal meiosis. It was discovered by Dr. Harry Klinefelter (hence the name.) Males with this disorder usually suffer from depression, social anxiety, and breast. They live their life normally.
