Abstract

The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a multisystem, autosomal dominant disorder affecting children and adults, results from mutations in one of two genes, TSC1 (encoding hamartin) or TSC2 (encoding tuberin). In this article, the current knowledge of the pathogenesis of the disease and its management are discussed.
