Hormone levels also come into play.
I saw a show on this not long ago with a guy who had Klinefelter's, he was married with kids. But he always felt like a woman and ended up transitioning quite easily, all the way through total reassignment surgery. If you saw her before, as a man, you wouldn't know, he looked like any other guy. When you saw her after, you wouldn't know. True they had done a bit of facial work to bring down the jaw slightly, but still, you wouldn't know.

there is also xyy.
it is rare
it is found more often in african american males than caucasion.
the result is more aggression, superior physical strength
one sociological theory is that it could be one of many factors as to why more african american men are convicted of violent crimes and excel as athletes.
