[Analysis of gene mutation in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex with polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism].

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by unusual tumor-like growth, termed hamartomas that develop in a variety of tissues and organs. Clinical findings characteristic of TSC include facial angiofibroma, epilepsy and mental retardation. In the last decade, two genes (TSC1 and TSC2) responsible for this disease were identified and both of them are speculated to...
