Perfect match: mTOR inhibitors and tuberous sclerosis complex
Highlights Hyperactivation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is essential in the pathogenesis of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and can serve as a therapeutic target. mTOR inhibitors have shown considerable success in multiple clinical trials for

Epilepsy and preventive antiepileptic treatment in tuberous sclerosis complex. Literature review
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the presence of benign tumors in many organs. The pathogenic mutation is found in either the TSC1 or TSC2 tumor suppressor genes. The presence of cortical or subcortical tubers

Tuberous sclerosis with kidneys angiomyolipomas: a family case
Tuberous sclerosis is one of the forms of monogenic hereditary pathology related to neurocutaneous diseases (phacomatoses). Diagnostic difficulties are associated with pronounced clinical polymorphism and age-dependent onset of symptoms.

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex [PDF]
Affecting approximately 1 per 6000-10,000 individuals, tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurocutaneous disorder that is not only uncommon but at risk to go underrecognized. Similar to other phakomatoses, TSC is a disorder of cellular proliferation and migration producing hamartomas-benign tumors or malignant cancers affecting the skin and brain ...
