Welcome to the Web site of the Tuberous Sclerosis Association, the UK charity that supports sufferers, promotes awareness, and seeks the causes and best possible management of Tuberous Sclerosis (TSC).
What is Tuberous Sclerosis Complex? TSC is a complex genetic condition caused by an alteration in a gene. People with TSC have growths, sometimes called tubers or lesions in different organs of the body (brain, heart, eyes, skin, kidneys, lungs) and may have epilepsy, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder and kidney problems. Symptoms vary from one person to another with some people showing very few symptoms and others more severely affected.
