Question 2 of 5
A 27 yo male patient presents with a female body habitus. Testicles are small. Absent secondary sex characteristics. Karyotype = 47 XXY. Which of the following is most likely to be seen with this clinical presentation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: This patient has Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY), characterized by hypogonadism due to testicular failure.
