Klinefelter syndrome occurs as a result of a random error that causes a male to be born with an extra sex chromosome. It isn't an inherited condition.

Humans have 46 chromosomes, including two sex chromosomes that determine a person's sex. Females have two X sex chromosomes (XX). Males have an X and a Y sex chromosome (XY).

Klinefelter syndrome can be caused by:

One extra copy of the X chromosome in each cell (XXY), the most common cause

An extra X chromosome in some of the cells (mosaic Klinefelter syndrome), with fewer symptoms

More than one extra copy of the X chromosome, which is rare and results in a severe form
