The Chicago Historical Society is negotiating with DNA researchers to allow sampling of some of its Abraham Lincoln artifacts -- including the blood-stained sheets from his deathbed -- in an effort to investigate whether he had Marfan syndrome.

I think lincoln did have marfan syndrome. Why else for the very long,thin body?

There is a better chance that he had "multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B. This condition resembles Marfans exactly but is not actually Marfans.
