What Is Pleiotropy?

Occasionally, we see genetic mutations in human beings. A mutation is any sort of genetic alteration that causes a change in the phenotype or expression of that gene. Sometimes we see genetic changes and phenotype changes not from a mutation, but from a gene controlling multiple traits. This is called pleiotropy. As stated, pleiotropy is where one gene winds up controlling multiple phenotypic traits in the organism.

Pleiotropy can be found in many different forms, but mainly it is viewed as causing inherited diseases and disorders. What can also occur is that if that gene has a mutation, it ultimately affects all of the phenotype traits that the gene was controlling. This creates a trickle-down effect. As the gene gets mutated, so do the traits it would exhibit.

There is a specific type of pleiotropy called antagonistic pleiotropy, where some of the traits that are expressed end up being beneficial to the organism but the others end up being detrimental. The organism will benefit from one of the expressions, but another might harm the organism.
