Abstract excerpt
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder displaying a large spectrum of symptoms. Linkage studies have shown two loci, TSC1 in 9q34 and TSC2 in 16p13.3, to be involved in the disease. The TSC2 gene, composed of 41 exons, has been isolated and is shown to encode a protein, tuberin, from a 5.5-kb transcript. Mutation screening for both clinical diagnosis and identification of functional...
