Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multisystemic genetic disorder with autosomal dominant inheritance, characterized by hamartomas that affect multiple organs, including the central nervous system, skin, heart, kidneys, and lungs. It occurs due to variants in the tumor suppressor genes TSC1 or TSC2. In this case series, we present a subgroup of 7 pediatric patients with variants in the TSC2 gene and discuss their genotypes, phenotypes as well as genotype-phenotype correlation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
