Genetics and TSC

TSC (Tuberous Sclerosis Complex) is a rare genetic disease. It is caused by a change (also known as a mutation) in one of two different genes – TSC1 or TSC2.  Genetics is a complex and changing area of medicine. We hope these pages will help you understand a little about genetics and TSC and the important role of genetic testing and genetic counselling.
