These genetic issues can be complex and not everyone with the syndrome will have the exact same expression of the symptoms depending on the exact crossover of Y material into the X chromosome. In the classical definition there would be no sperm. But an examination by a urologist who is a fertility expert and possibly a biopsy of the testis would give you a definitive answer for the affected individual.
