Tuberous Sclerosis
Tuberous Sclerosis (TSC) is a genetic condition that causes benign tumors to develop in the brain, skin and other organs. It affects about one in every 6,000 people in the United States, and is estimated to affect about 1 million people worldwide. Symptoms of TSC can vary from person to person, but may include epilepsy, intellectual disability, skin lesions and developmental delays. Treatment of TSC is tailored to each patient, and may involve medications, dietary changes and surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment of TSC can help improve quality of life for individuals with the condition and may help reduce the risk of serious complications.
