A survey of these studies has recently been made by Fenton et al. (1971).

SummaryThe frequency of twins and triplets was significantly higher than expected among 56 patients with Klinefelter's syndrome (7.1%), compared with 1.58% in the population (P<0.001), and the frequency of multiple births in the 56 sibships (4.08%) was also significantly higher than expected (P<0.01).One of 15 patients with the XYY syndrome was a twin, and there were 2 twin births among the 53 births in the 15 sibships.
