Systemic Disease Manifestations of TSC Strongly Associated With Epilepsy
Study examines the relationship between tuberous sclerosis complex and epilepsy

In a study of 1816 patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), researchers found that specific disease manifestations—cardiac rhabodmyomas, retinal hemartomas, renal cysts, renal angiomyolipipomas, and facial angiofibromas—were associated with a higher likelihood of epilepsy development. The authors posit that this research can help identify patients who will benefit from novel, targeted, preventative treatments.
