Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disorder that causes non-cancerous tumors to grow in various organs, particularly the brain, skin, kidneys, and heart. These tumors can lead to a range of symptoms, including seizures, developmental delays, and skin abnormalities. The condition is caused by mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, which are responsible for regulating cell growth. Diagnosis often involves imaging tests, skin examinations, and genetic testing. While there is no cure, treatments focus on managing symptoms and may include medications, surgery, or therapies to improve quality of life. Early intervention can help address developmental challenges associated with the disorder.
