The answer is Klinefelter syndrome.
Nondisjunction disorders are conditions resulting from an unbalanced distribution of chromosomes. In the case of Klinefelter syndrome, the sex chromosomes are affected. Rather than having an XX for female or an XY for male people with Klinefelters have either XXY or XYY.
