Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic multisystem disorder characterized by widespread hamartomas in several organs, including the brain, heart, skin, eyes, kidney, lung and liver. The affected genes are TSC1 and TSC2, encoding hamartin and tuberin respectively. Most features of tuberous sclerosis become evident only in childhood, limiting their usefulness for early diagnosis.
