1 child each week
Every week in Australia another child is born with TSC. Two-thirds have no family history. Many children are not diagnosed until they experience symptoms such as infantile spasms or seizures.
1 million worldwide
Nearly 1 million people are estimated to have TSC. Life-long surveillance is essential. Help shine a light on TSC by getting involved in TSC Global Awareness Day held annually on 15 May.
