	Tuberous Sclerosis - Health Centers
		Tuberous sclerosis is a group of two genetic disorders characterized by problems with the skin, brain/nervous system, and kidneys.
		Tuberous sclerosis is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait (only one parent must pass on the bad gene for the child to get the disease).
		The symptoms of tuberous sclerosis vary considerably: from minimally affected people with normal intelligence and no seizures, to severely affected people with profound retardation and frequent, difficult-to-control seizures or serious tumors.

	Tuberous Sclerosis
		Tuberous sclerosis is a rare genetic, neurological disorder primarily characterized by seizures, mental retardation, and skin and eye lesions.
		Tuberous sclerosis derives its name from the tuber-like growths on the brain which calcify with age and become hard or sclerotic.
		Many people with tuberous sclerosis have normal intelligence, but some children do begin to show developmental delay when their seizures start and as they grow older it sometimes becomes clear that they are not keeping up with other children of their age in certain areas of development.

		The name tuberous sclerosis comes from the characteristic tuber or root-like growths in the brain, which calcify with age and become hard or sclerotic.
		Diagnosis of the disorder is based on a careful clinical exam in combination with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, which may show tubers in the brain, and an ultrasound of the heart, liver, and kidneys, which may show tumors in those organs.
		Tuberous sclerosis is often referred to as tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in medical literature to help distinguish it from Tourette's syndrome, an unrelated neurological disorder.
