Abstract excerpt
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in TSC1 or TSC2 resulting in hyperactivity of the mammalian target of rapamycin and disabling brain lesions. These lesions contain misplaced neurons enriched in hypoxia-inducible factor 1a (HIF1a). However, the relationship between TSC1/2 and HIF1a and the function of HIF1a in TSC neurons remain unexplored. Here, we examine the degree of...
