In medicine, the Gorlin sign is the ability to touch the tip of the nose or chin with the tongue.[1] Approximately 5 per cent of the general population can perform this act, whereas fifty per cent of people with the inherited connective tissue disorder, Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, can. Named after pathologist Robert J. Gorlin,[2] it should not be confused with Gorlin syndrome, a serious inherited medical condition also named after him.
