First seen Dec 26, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looked at 141 men with Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) to see if younger men (ages 15–22) have a better chance of finding sperm through testicular biopsy compared to older men (ages 23–55). Participants provided semen samples, and if none were found, they underwent a biopsy to retrieve sperm for possible use in IVF. The goal is to improve fertility preservation by identifying the best age for sperm retrieval.
