In medicine, Gorlin sign is the ability to touch the tip of the nose with the tongue.[1] Approximately ten percent of the general population can perform this act, whereas fifty percent of people with the inherited connective tissue disorder, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, can. Not to be confused with Gorlin Syndrome; it is named for Robert J. Gorlin.[2]
