Identification of TSC1 and TSC2 mutations in Korean patients with tuberous sclerosis complex.

Abstract excerpt

Tuberous sclerosis complex is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the genes TSC1 or TSC2. Studies of these mutations are very rare in Korean populations. A previous study identified mutations in only 30% of patients by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography with sequencing. Here, we sought to determine the mutational frequency in Koreans. Eleven patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for...
