Novel Neurocognitive Profile in a Minority of Males with 47,XXY (Klinefelter syndrome)

47,XXY, Klinefelter syndrome is typically associated with increased
perceptual abilities compared to verbal skills. One-third of our subjects had higher verbal
capabilities than perceptual skills. Those participants who showed increased PIQ compared to their VIQ excelled on perceptual and visual spatial subtests. Expressive and receptive vocabulary skills were commensurate in both groups, which has not been reported previously. This study identifies an alternative profile of 47,XXY with increased verbal capabilities compared to perceptual skills. Our findings of commensurate expressive and receptive vocabulary skills reveal age as an impactful factor in vocabulary development, as higher receptive skills are associated with 47,XXY.
