Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations of TSC1 (harmartin) and TSC2 (tuberin) are known to cause tuberous sclerosis (TSC), an autosomal dominant disorder with severe neurological and systemic manifestations. In addition, increasing data indicate aberrant patterns of allelic variants in patients with lesion-associated epilepsy, but absence of other stigmata of TSC. Animal models of TSC suggested that mutations in the TSC2 gene, even...
