What is tuberous sclerosis complex?
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a genetic condition characterized by lesions of the skin and central nervous system, tumour growth and seizures. The disease affects some people severely, while others are so mildly affected that it often goes undiagnosed. Some people with tuberous sclerosis experience developmental delay, mental retardation and autism. However, there are also many people with tuberous sclerosis living independent, healthy lives who are enjoying challenging professions such as doctors, lawyers, educators and researchers.
