Abstract

<p> <p id="x-x-p-1"> We appreciate the comments of Dr Eberle that provide further anecdotal experience for an association between Klinefelter syndrome and fire-setting behavior. In addition, her observation and Sorenson's observations which she notes provide additional evidence that testosterone may be helpful in individuals with Klinefelter syndrome who have fire-setting behavior or other antisocial behavior including stealing and violence toward others. <p id="x-x-p-2"> We have also seen an additional individual with variant Klinefelter syndrome, similar to Dr Eberle's patient. </p> </p></p>
