Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in cellular migration, proliferation, and differentiation in many tissues. Benign hamartomas develop in multiple organs, believed to be caused by somatic mutation in addition to germ line mutation to cause loss of both alleles of either the TSC1 or TSC2 tumor suppressor gene, with resultant dysregulated growth due to loss of hamartin or tuberin function, respectively.
