In medicine, Gorlin sign is the ability to touch the tip of the nose with the tongue and touch the elbow with the tongue.[1] Approximately ten percent of the general population can perform this act, whereas five times as many people with Ehlers Danlos can. Not to be confused with Gorlin Syndrome it is named for Robert J. Gorlin.[2]
