Bij mensen met erfelijke bindweefselaandoeningen, zoals het syndroom van Ehlers-Danlos, kan 50% dit, vanwege de ongebruikelijke rekbaarheid van de tong. Het verschijnsel is genoemd naar de Amerikaanse hoogleraar . Het teken van Gorlin moet niet verward worden met het syndroom van Gorlin-Goltz (basocellulairenaevussyndroom), dat wel naar dezelfde persoon vernoemd is. (nl)
