Patients may experience a few or all of the symptoms with varying degrees of severity. Two loci for tuberous sclerosis have been found: TSC1 on chromosome 9, and TSC2 on chromosome 16. It took four years to pin down a specific gene from the TSC1 region of chromosome 9: in 1997, a promising candidate was found. Called hamartin by the discoverers, it is similar to a yeast protein of unknown function, and appears to act as a tumor suppressor: without TSC1, growth of cells proceeds in an unregulated fashion, resulting in tumor formation. TSC2 codes for a protein called tuberin, which, through database searches, was found to have a region of homology to a protein found in pathways that regulate the cell (GAP3, a GTPase-activation protein). TSC1 has a homolog in yeast, which provides a system in which to model the human disease.

27 July 2000 Article reference: CB15.270700 Coffee Break archives Tuberous Sclerosis Complex in flies too? Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) affects as many as 1 in 6000 newborns. Although named in 1880 for the firm, potato-like nodules that form in the cerebral cortex, few organs escape the benign tumors - hamartomas - that also sprout in the kidneys, lungs, heart, eyes, and skin. The first clinical signs of TSC include seizures, mental retardation, and skin lesions. However, symptoms can be so subtle that they go undetected for many years. One-third of TSC patients inherit a defective copy of either the gene (chromosome 9q34) or the gene (chromosome 16p13.3). The remaining two-thirds acquire the disease by spontaneous mutation of either gene, probably very early in embryonic development. Since no individual lacking functional copies of both genes has ever been found, it is believed that such a condition is lethal to the embryo. The product of the gene, hamartin, shows no overall sequence similarity to any known protein, although it contains an extensive coiled-coil region near its carboxyl end. Coiled-coil domains often provide a binding surface for protein-protein interactions. The TSC2 product - tuberin - is also novel, but shows homology to the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for Rap1 protein, a Ras superfamily member. Rap1's cellular function is not known, however, many Ras-related proteins help to pass stimulatory signals - from the plasma membrane to the nucleus - that tell a cell when to divide. The GTP-dependent proteins within these signaling cascades can only transmit a signal when in a GTP-bound state. The role of the GAP is to inactivate the signaling protein by hydrolyzing itts bound GTP to GDP. GAPs are therefore critical negative regulators of the Ras-like proteins and thus prevent cells from dividing unchecked.

Biology 202 1999 Second Web Reports On Serendip Tuberous Sclerosis Alicia Zukas Tuberous Sclerosis (TS), or Bourneville disease, covers a broad range of afflictions, but neurologically afflicts 1/6000 newborns in the United States . Its name derives from the "tuber-like growth, on the brain which calcify with age and become hard or sclerotic" . Brain tubers have no distinction between white and gray matter, as indicated by the arrow in the biopsy. TS was first observed by von Recklinshausen in 1862, and was named by Bourneville as tuberous sclerosis in 1880; he described it as a "'tuberous sclerosis of the cerebral circumvolutions' for the unique cerebral pathologic changes he found in the brain of a 15 year-old epileptic and mentally handcapped girl" . The patient's face was also scarred with lesions, now know as facial angiofibroma . By the early 1900's TS was made according to evidence of what is known as the Vogt triad, including seizures, mental retardation, and the facial angiofibroma. It is now known that this triad is not necessarily needed to diagnose TS. The current diagnosis is based upon the following: Multiple ungual fibroma

Advanced Search Recognizing an Index Case of Tuberous Sclerosis JOSEPH S. HURST, M.D., Columbus Regional Family Practice Residency Program, Columbus, Georgia SUSAN WILCOSKI, M.D., Swedish Covenant/Chicago Medical School Family Practice Residency Program, North Chicago, Illinois A patient information handout on tuberous sclerosis, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 710. Tuberous sclerosis is the most common neurocutaneous syndrome after neurofibromatosis. Dermatologic manifestations may be the only clues the family physician has to the diagnosis of the disorder, which is also marked by childhood seizures and mental retardation. Characteristic signs of tuberous sclerosis vary widely in severity and can include hypopigmented "ash-leaf spots," fibrous plaques on the forehead, angiofibromas on the face (adenoma sebaceum), a shagreen patch on the lower back and fibromas of the nails. Computed tomographic scanning or magnetic resonance imaging reveal subependymal nodules or cortical "tubers" in the brain. Associated cardiac, retinal, renal and pulmonary pathology can increase morbidity and mortality. Genetic counseling is helpful but has limited use because of the variation in genetic expression and the frequency of new gene mutations that cause this disorder. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:703-8,710.) T he term "tuberous sclerosis" was first used in 1880 to describe a syndrome consisting of seizures, mental retardation and facial rash in a young girl. However, this complex disorder was initially identified in 1862, and an association between seizures, mental retardation and facial angiofibromas (adenoma sebaceum), referred to as "Vogt's triad," was established in 1908.

Tuberous sclerosis causes growths in the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin or lungs. These growths are usually benign (not cancer). The first signs may be seizures and spots on the skin. People in the same family who have tuberous sclerosis may have no learning problems or mild learning problems, or they may have serious learning problems, with seizures that are hard to control. Tuberous sclerosis isn't common, but it isn't rare either. Up to 40,000 people in the United States have it. The disorder occurs in both sexes and in people of all races and ethnic groups.

Tuberous Sclerosis Treatment Definition An inheritable disorder characterized by skin lesions , varying degrees of mental retardation , and seizures Causes, incidence, and risk factors Tuberous sclerosis is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. It is one of a group of diseases described as neurocutaneous syndromes because of extensive involvement of both the skin and the central nervous system (brain and/or spinal cord). The symptoms of tuberous sclerosis, however, 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. The disease is named after the typical brain lesion which is called a tuber. Severely affected people may develop seizures shortly after birth that are characterized by infantile spasms (hypsarrhythmia). Later seizures tend to be myoclonic. Mental retardation becomes evident as infants begin to miss their normal developmental milestones Several different skin lesions are common in tuberous sclerosis.

"But our studies of these regulatory proteins suggest that deregulation of organ size may be another important step in tumorigenesis." Researchers have new evidence that may help explain how two genes that are mutated in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex, a genetic disorder that produces widespread benign tumors in the brain, skin, lungs and kidneys, contribute to regulating cell growth and organ size.

Disorder Zone Archives Tuberous Sclerosis Matthew Carlos Introduction Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by benign tumors in vital organs such as the brain, eyes, kidneys, heart and skin. The name, tuberous sclerosis, comes from tuber-like growths in the brain which calcify with age and become hard, or sclerotic. The condition develops before birth, occurs in both males and females, and is seen in all races and ethnic groups. There are 25,000 to 40,000 individuals in the United States with TSC and approximately 1,000,000 worldwide. TSC has an occurrence rate of 1 out of 5,800 live births, although it is believed that there are many undiagnosed cases. TSC is caused by two different defective genes; a defective gene on chromosome 9q34 called TSC1 and a defective gene on chromosome 16p13 called TSC2. Only one of these two genes needs to be affected for the individual to have TSC. One-third of the cases of TSC are hereditary and are autosomal dominant, meaning that only one parent needs to have the defective gene to pass it on to the child. In this case, each child has a 50% chance of inheriting TSC. The other two-thirds are the result of a spontaneous (or new) mutation. A case of TSC was first described by Von Recklinghausen in 1862. In 1880, Bourneville gave a complete description and name to the disorder.
