Actual (reported)The haemostatic balance and neurocognitive capability of men with Klinefelter syndrome is compared to healthy controls by using specific biochemical assays for coagulation and fibrinolysis and a selection of neuropsychological tests and brain fMRI. Furthermore, the effect of gonadal status and any effects of long- or short-term testosterone treatment on the above mentioned parameters are investigated.

Actual (reported)Differences in thrombin generation
Thrombin generation using the CAT assay is assessed as ETP (nM thrombin), peak height (nM thrombin) and lag time (minutes). All variables are assessed at inclusion and after a 18 month follow-up. Groups are compared statistically at each time point and any changes during follow-up is also analysed.
Time 0 and after 18 months followup
Differences in fibrin clot properties
Fibrin clot properties is assessed by fibrin structure analysis in plasma samples. All variables are assessed at inclusion and after a 18 month follow-up. Groups are compared statistically at each time point and any changes during follow-up is also analysed.
Time 0 and after 18 months followup
Difference in neurocognition
neurocognition is assessed using a wide array of psychological tests (e.g. Wais-III, Stroop test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and others) All variables are assessed at inclusion and after a 18 month follow-up. Groups are compared statistically at each time point and any changes during follow-up is also analysed.
Time 0 and after 18 months followup
Differences in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters between groups
Time 0 and after 18 months followup
Differences in fMRI between groups
Once at followup
Men with Klinefelter syndrome without testosterone treatment. After initial examination standard treatment with testosterone will be effectuated according to current guidelines.
