Tuberous sclerosis, also tuberous sclerosis complex (abbreviated TSC), is an autosomal dominant syndrome associated with an increased risk of hamartomas and some risk increase for malignant tumours.
Historically described as:[1]
- Epilepsy.
- Mental retardation.
- Adenoma sebaceum (angiofibromas).
General
- Autosomal dominant with variable penetrance.[2]
- Majority (60-70%) are de novo mutations.[2]
- May be treated with a mTOR inhibitor, e.g. everolimus.[3]
Associations
Pathologic:
- Renal angiomyolipoma.
- Cardiac rhabdomyoma.
- Lymphangiomyomatosis.
- Seen in ~1/3 of females with TSC in one series.[4]
- Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA).[5]
- Renal cysts.[2]
- Seen in ~45% of individuals with TSC in one series, no gender bias.[4]
- Tuberous sclerosis-associated renal cell carcinoma - an evolving entity.[2]
Note:
- The same genes (TSC1, TSC2) are implicated in PEComas.
- Renal lesions are seen in ~60% of patients.[4]
Mnemonic SALSA HEART:[6]
- Shagreen patches.
- Shagreen patch = connective-tissue nevus composed of collagen, i.e. collagenoma.[7]
- Ash Leaf spots.
- SEGA.
- Angiofibroma.
- Hamartomas.
- Epilepsy.
- Angiomyolipoma.
- Rhabdomyoma.
- Tubers.
Genes
Notes:
- The proteins (hamartin and tuberin) are expressed in a wide variety of tissues.[11]
Incidence
~1 in 10,000 population.[1][10]
