In the United States approximately 1 in 500 to 1 in 1000 male live births are affected with the syndrome. See the link. (my endrocronologist - who has been in practice 35+ years has never seen another klinefleters patient and we live in Boston. Many people who have it - that never desire children may never be diagnosed. therefore I think the number is closer to the one in a 1000

Can a male with klinefelters syndrome produce a baby without klinefelters syndrome?

First a testicular biopsy should be done to determine if he has any viable sperm. Some men with this condition do have some viable sperm in their testicles and if he does, in-vitro fertilization may be a possibility. However, if he does not have any viable sperm, then you would need to use donor sperm to become pregnant. Hope this helps.
