📋Overview
Tuberous Sclerosis 1 is a specific genetic subtype of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex caused by mutations in the TSC1 gene. This condition leads to the development of benign tumors, known as hamartomas, which can affect the brain, skin, kidneys, heart, and lungs.
The clinical presentation of this multisystem disorder varies significantly among individuals, often involving neurological and dermatological manifestations. While these growths are typically noncancerous, their presence can influence the function of the affected organs over time.
