The genomic landscape of tuberous sclerosis complex
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disease causing multisystem growth of benign tumours and other hamartomatous lesions, which leads to diverse and debilitating clinical symptoms. Patients are born with TSC1 or TSC2 mutations, and somatic inactivation of wild-type alleles drives MTOR activation; however, second hits to TSC1/TSC2 are not always observed. Here, we present the geno...
متن کاملThe tuberous sclerosis complex.
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes and is associated with hamartoma formation in multiple organ systems. The neurological manifestations of TSC are particularly challenging and include infantile spasms, intractable epilepsy, cognitive disabilities, and autism. Progress over the past 15 years has demonstrated t...
متن کاملTuberous sclerosis complex.
Contrast enhanced computed tomography revealed a large well-circumscribed heterogenous retroperitoneal mass measuring 25 × 20 cm arising from the left kidney with predominant fat attenuation. Multiple smaller lesions were seen in the opposite kidney. Features were suggestive of diffuse angiomyolipomatosis of the kidneys. Hypodense lesions were also seen involving the lungslymphangioleiomyomatos...
متن کاملTuberous Sclerosis Complex Surveillance and Management: Recommendations of the 2012 International Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Consensus Conference
BACKGROUND Tuberous sclerosis complex is a genetic disorder affecting every organ system, but disease manifestations vary significantly among affected individuals. The diverse and varied presentations and progression can be life-threatening with significant impact on cost and quality of life. Current surveillance and management practices are highly variable among region and country, reflective ...
متن کاملTuberous sclerosis complex renal disease.
Although not as common as other genetic renal diseases such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, patients with tuberous sclerosis complex frequently have significant renal involvement. Recent revelations in the cell biology of these renal disease manifestations as well as effective therapies for tuberous sclerosis complex-related renal issues have heralded hope of improved renal sur...
