TSC is a complex genetic condition caused by an alteration in a gene.
People with TSC have growths in different organs of the body (brain, heart, eyes, skin, kidneys, lungs) and may have epilepsy, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder and kidney problems.
Symptoms vary from one person to another with some people showing very few symptoms and others more severely affected.
