Well first you would need to know the facts. This is only found in males, it is a disease that is testosterone related disease. The possible symptoms are enlarged male breasts, male infertility, speech difficulty, sparse body hair, inability to produce sperm and sparse body hair. The molecular activity is found that males with this disease have an extra chromosome. They have genotype (xxy) instead of just genotype(xy). The only cure is testosterone therapy.
