📋Overview
This condition arises from mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, which play a critical role in regulating cell growth and proliferation. These genetic changes lead to the uncontrolled growth of cells, resulting in hamartomas throughout the body. Common manifestations include skin lesions, seizures, and cognitive impairment. Management typically involves monitoring tumor growth and treating specific symptoms as they arise.
