📋Overview
Tuberous Sclerosis, also known as tuberous sclerosis complex, is a multisystem genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. These mutations lead to the development of benign tumors in various organs, including the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs, and skin.
The condition may cause diverse neurological and systemic manifestations due to abnormal cell growth and differentiation. While these growths are noncancerous, they can interfere with organ function and lead to a variety of clinical presentations.
