"I never refer to newborn babies as having Klinefelter's, because they don't have a syndrome," said Arthur Robinson, M.D., a pediatrician at the University of Colorado Medical School in Denver and the director of the NICHD-sponsored study of XXYs. "Presumably, some of them will grow up to develop the syndrome Dr. Klinefelter described, but a lot of them won't." Given this hopeful prospect, a good pediatrician is likely to be a parent's best guide in helping to raise an XXY and best meet their evolving and individual needs. Parents are encouraged to relax and enjoy their children as they would any other and to appreciate their uniqueness and the many gifts they bring to this world.
