Xxy related to marfan's syndrome?

is xxy klinefelter's syndrome related to marfan's syndrome?

People with Marfan syndrome are typically very tall, slender, and loose jointed. Arms, legs, fingers, and toes may be disproportionately long in relation to the rest of the body because Marfan syndrome affects the long bones of the skeletal system. A person with Marfan syndrome usually has a long, narrow face, and the roof of the mouth may be arched, causing the teeth to be crowded. Other skeletal abnormalities include a sternum (breastbone) that is either protruding or indented, curvature of the spine (scoliosis), and flat feet.
Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects male sexual development. Most males with Klinefelter syndrome have one extra copy of the X chromosome in each cell. Because their testicles do not develop normally, affected males may have low levels of the hormone testosterone beginning during puberty. A lack of this hormone can lead to breast development (gynecomastia), reduced facial and body hair, and an inability to father children (infertility). Compared with other men, adult males with Klinefelter syndrome have an increased risk of developing breast cancer and a chronic inflammatory disease called systemic lupus erythematosus. Their chance of developing these disorders is similar to that of normal adult females.Boys with Klinefelter syndrome may have learning disabilities and difficulty with speech and language development. They tend to be quiet, sensitive, and unassertive, but personality characteristics vary among males with this condition. Variants of Klinefelter syndrome, which involve more than one extra X chromosome or extra copies of both the X and Y chromosomes in each cell, tend to have more severe signs and symptoms. These disorders affect male sexual development and are associated with decreased IQ, distinctive facial features, skeletal abnormalities, poor coordination, and severe problems with speech.
The connection between Marfan and Klinefelter syndromes is that they are both genetic issues.
I add a link for both subjects

I have two friends with Marfan's syndrome and neither had any of the problems so apparent with Klinefelter's that I checked on google images. Nothing at all close to that.
I don't think the two are related at all except that you could say they are both congenital.

I am not expert on any of this stuff so if there is some subtle relationship, I am NOT the one who would know about it.

Entirely 2 different syndromes. Although I do know 2 people with Marfans that ALSO have Klinefelters. The only thing the 2 have in common is that they are both genetic disorders. We have enough problems as it is without worrying that we or our children would be affected by both!
