=== Medical conditions === A unibrow is part of normal human variation, but can also stem from developmental disorders. A unibrow is a recognized feature of [[Cornelia De Lange syndrome]], a genetic disorder whose main features include moderate to severe learning difficulties, limb abnormalities such as [[oligodactyly]] (fewer than normal fingers or toes), and [[phocomelia]] (malformed limbs), and facial abnormalities including a long [[philtrum]] (the slight depression/line between the nose and mouth). Other medical conditions associated with a unibrow include:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Synophrys (Concept Id: C0431447) |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/medgen/?term=unibrow |access-date=2023-12-01
