Tuberous sclerosis, also tuberous sclerosis complex (abbreviated TSC), is an autosomal dominant syndrome associated with an increased risk of hamartomas.

Historically described as:[1]

  1. Epilepsy.
  2. Mental retardation.
  3. Adenoma sebaceum (angiofibromas).

General

  • Autosomal dominant with variable penetrance.[2]
  • Majority (60-70%) are de novo mutations.[2]

Associations

Pathologic:

Note:

  • The same genes (TSC1, TSC2) are implicated in PEComas.

Mnemonic SALSA HEART:[4]

Genes

  • TSC1.[6]
  • TSC2.[7]
    • Some evidence to suggest it is more often implicated in malignant tumours (than TSC1).[8]

Incidence

~1 in 10,000 population.[1])[8]
