Thanks for telling us the name of the condition. Re your buddy -- a severely enlarged heart is one of the effects of the condition. It's really a tragic thing.

If you think that is tall, the "virgins" in Mohammad's heavenly brothel are 180 feet tall. That's probably why they are virgins.

Bukhari:V4B55N544 “Allah's Apostle said, ‘The first group who will enter Paradise will be glittering like the moon and those who will follow will glitter like the most brilliant star. They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be gold and their sweat will smell like musk. Their companions will be houris [virgins]. All of them will look alike and will be sixty cubits (180 feet) tall.’”

Too bad nobody gave her a basketball when she was a kid. She would have been bigger than Yao Ming, literally.

"Some of the Chinese are quite tall. As their nutrition improves, each new generation grows taller."

No, It's the polution hanging in their air and oozing into their water that is creating mutants!
