An additional X chromosome
Abstract
A 35-year-old man presented with symmetrical inflammatory polyarthritis of the small and large joints and associated early-morning stiffness. He was assessed as having features in keeping with Klinefelter’s syndrome. It is evident from the literature that there is a relationship between Klinefelter’s syndrome and developing rheumatic conditions.
