Phakomatosis Tuberous Sclerosis
📋Overview
Phakomatosis Tuberous Sclerosis is a multisystem genetic disorder that may lead to the formation of benign growths in the brain, skin, heart, kidneys, and lungs. These growths result from mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, which are responsible for regulating cell growth and division within the body.
The clinical presentation of this condition can vary significantly among individuals, as the tumors can affect different organ systems and impact neurological or physiological functions. Modern medical literature typically classifies this condition as Tuberous Sclerosis Complex to reflect its systemic nature and genetic origins.
