    Abstract
    This case suggests a possible association between Klinefelter Syndrome and decreased regulatory T cells (Treg) cells, relating to an increased risk of allergic and autoimmune disorders in these patients. The immune phenotyping of the circulating FOXP3+ naive Treg populations in KS patients may help to indicate this predisposition.
