Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a condition that occurs when one gene affect several other phenotypic traits that are not related. The autosomal dominant allele of the genetic disease called blue sclera, is pleiotropic. It has the potential of causing also fragile bones and deafness which are entirely unrelated traits. Genetic mutation of a gene is the most likely explainable reason for the connection of these traits together.
