So, what is Corinna Fulgieri's disability?

The TikTok star has more than 4 million likes on her TikTok page, and despite having a chronic disability, her videos are rather fun and uplifting. In one cute video that was viewed more than one million times, Corinna is seen walking backward down the stairs and up a (fake) mountain, set to the song "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac.

According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a genetic disease that people are born with. It is usually due to a mutation in one of seven developmental genes during or shortly after conception.

The disease causes a broad range of symptoms that may include physical, cognitive, and medical challenges. It can affect a person's growth, and they may have a smaller body and head size, or they may have smaller hands and feet, or missing forearms and fingers.

The disease may also cause delayed development, intellectual disabilities, or learning disabilities. Those with the disease may have ADHD, anxiety, or autism features. According to the Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Foundation, common medical issues for people living with the disorder may include gastroesophageal reflux disease, vision problems, heart defects, seizures, hearing loss, and feeding difficulties. The disease was named after a Dutch pediatrician, Dr. Cornelia de Lange, in 1933.

While people initially enjoyed Corinna's videos, fans turned on her after she shared multiple videos about her swollen finger. After stubbing her finger, she asked, "Is this swelling up? I don't know if this is swelling up."

She made another video, noting that she had gotten an ice pack, and yet another saying she didn't think her hand looked normal, and another wondering if it was sprained. She made more than a dozen videos in total, and her fans had a lot to say.

One fan replied, "I know her family is tired." Another wrote, "I don’t know either queen. See you again in 2-5 scrolls."

"Had cancer and did a year of chemo, but tbh, I'm glad I didn't hit my finger. That sounds miserable," noted another.

Another fan replied, "Like WHO ELSE on this earth could take a stubbed finger and turn it into 12 TikToks with this much engagement. Rose is the queen of TikTok."

After Corinna shared a video the next day unrelated to her finger, one fan replied, "I couldn’t sleep last night because I was so worried about your finger."

Despite the trolling, Corinna seemed to take everything in stride and is still posting fabulous and fun TikTok videos.
