Behavior in Klinefelter Syndrome, or Where There Is Smoke There May Not Be a Fire

<p> <p id="x-x-x-p-1"> In Reply.&mdash; <p id="x-x-x-p-2"> Drs Hecht and Hecht smell smoke but see no fire. They also may not see the forest for the trees. <p id="x-x-x-p-3"> When we became aware of four individuals with Klinefelter syndrome in our clinical practice who had significant fire-setting behavior, we thought this was likely more than a coincidence. Our primary reason for reporting this observation was not for counseling issues in Klinefelter syndrome, but for alerting health care providers who evaluate firesetters that Klinefelter syndrome may be a small subset of firesetters. </p> </p> </p></p>
