Diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex is currently made after the following tests are performed: a brain MRI or CT Scan, renal ultrasound, echocardiogram of the heart, EKG, eye exam and a Wood’s Lamp evaluation of the skin. A genetic test for TSC is not yet available. However, two centers in the United States offer genetic testing on a research basis with confirmation in a clinically certified laboratory.
