Specific pattern of maturation and differentiation in the formation of cortical tubers in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC): evidence from layer-specific marker expression

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multisystem disorder that results from mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, leading to constitutive activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. Cortical tubers represent typical lesions of the central nervous system (CNS) in TSC. The pattern of cortical layering disruption observed in brain tissue of TSC patients is not yet fully...
