Synopsis

Eleven psychiatric patients with Klinefelter's syndrome are described and compared with nine patients in whom psychiatric illness was associated with hypogonadism due to causes other than chromosomal abnormality. The possible role of endocrine factors in the psychopathology of Klinefelter's syndrome is discussed in the light of the clinical and physical findings.
