Pleiotropy is a tough word, not going to lie. It really just means that one gene can control several different traits. Marfan syndrome is an example of a genetic disorder where the presence of one gene causes many different traits to appear. Some evidence suggests that President Abraham Lincoln could have had Marfan's, but the absolute best example (in my opinion) is Peter Mayhew (the original actor that played Chewbacca!) who was over 7 feet tall! What are some (list at least 3) of the phenotypic traits for an individual who has the Marfan genotype?
