Second Gene Responsible for tuberous sclerosis Complex Identified TSC1Finding on Chromosome 9 Follows 1993 Discovery of TSC2 Gene.
http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/aug97/ninds-07.htm

Extractions: TSC1 Finding on Chromosome 9 Follows 1993 Discovery of TSC2 Gene Scientists have identified the second of two genes that cause tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a relatively common developmental disorder characterized by a number of abnormalities, including seizures, benign tumors in several organs, and variable emotional and cognitive disabilities. The discovery, to be reported in the August 8, 1997, issue of Science * by David Kwiatkowski, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), both components of the National Institutes of Health. Investigators located the TSC1 gene on chromosome 9. The gene makes a protein called hamartin , named after hamartomas, a type of tumor common to TSC and comprised of multiple cell types. Affected individuals have a mutation in either the TSC1 gene or the TSC2 gene. The TSC2 gene, which codes for a protein called

Extractions: Health Specialist Laura DiBattista explains a rare genetic condition that brings pain to the families affected by it. If you met McKenzie Hutchison, youd probably fall in love with her. The adorable 2-year-old looks like any child her age. But sadly, shes not. Because little McKenzie suffers from something called tuberous sclerosis or T.S. for short. Its a rare genetic disorder that leaves patients suffering a variety of ailments, from severe seizures to mental retardation and autism. It's terrifying, sighs Nicole Hutchison, McKenzies mom. I mean, it's physically scary to watch, because it's not nice to see your daughter convulsing that way. But it's just so frustrating to be trying to help her and not be able to. But despite the fact theres no cure, there is hope. Recently developed medications are helping to stem the severity of the disease. She's on a new medication now, and she was having up to 17, 20 seizures a day, which for us is a lot. Other people have hundreds a day.

What is tuberous sclerosis Complex (TSC)? tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is aninherited disorder. tuberous sclerosis Newsletter Available through the mail.
http://wwwchg.mc.duke.edu/patients/ts.html

Extractions: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an inherited disorder. People with TSC may have any or all of the following symptoms: seizures, facial angiofibromas (characteristic reddish spots or bumps), Shagreen patches (elevated, pebbly, orange-peel skin), hypomelanotic maculas (white patches on the skin, observable only through use of special light called a "Woods lamp"), or multiple kidney cysts. Some individuals with TSC may even have mental retardation. Genetics and TSC TSC is inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder . Men and women are equally likely to have TSC. A child born to an individual with TSC has a 50% chance of inheriting TSC. Again, male and female children are equally likely to inherit a TSC gene if one of their parents is affected. Researchers have identified two genes that can lead to TSC, one on

http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/news/review/archives/medrev_v2n1_0003.html

Extractions: Departments of Urology, Squier Urological Clinic, and Pathology ABSTRACT Progression to renal failure in tuberous sclerosis patients is a rare phenomenon. Only twenty-nine such cases have been reported in the literature. Similarly, pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis (honeycomb lung) is an uncommon complication of tuberous sclerosis occurring in less than 1% of patients. In reported cases of tuberous sclerosis and chronic renal failure, there have been no reported cases with known cystic lung disease. We present the first case of tuberous sclerosis with concomitant end-stage renal failure and cystic lung disease consistent with lymphangiomyomatosis as well as a review of the current literature. CASE REPORT A 28-year old black woman with tuberous sclerosis was admitted to our medical center with left flank pain and gross hematuria. Medical history was significant for bilateral renal cystic disease and seizures until age eleven. At age 21, she was diagnosed as having bullous lung disease with obstructive and restrictive features. She has had several tube thoracostomies for spontaneous pneumothoraces and requires home oxygen therapy. At age 26, she was begun on hemodialysis for end-stage renal failure. Family history is noteworthy for tuberous sclerosis and polycystic renal disease in her brother and father, who died at age 42. She was of average intelligence while her father and brother were mildly retarded. She was awaiting renal transplantation.

It is a complex genetic disorder affecting individuals with different degrees of severity. Some people with the disorder are totally unaffected and may go through life without the diagnosis ever have been made; others are only diagnosed when their child is found to have the condition.

Extractions: Research updates 15 - Ethics and the Gene Map page 4 4. The tuberous sclerosis genes A story of gene sequencing Tuberous sclerosis is one of a large number of single gene disorders, just like cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell disease and haemophilia. The story of its mapping and sequencing , as part of the Human Genome Project, is a story of human suffering and competition between scientists, but also a story of human help and scientific collaboration. Figure 4. Typical appearance of someone with tuberous sclerosis who has facial lesions. Tuberous sclerosis affects about 1 in 6000 newborn infants. An important feature of the condition is the great variability in its phenotypic manifestation. A typical clinical symptom is the presence of skin lesions on the face (Figure 4), though 15% of those with tuberous sclerosis have no such lesions. These facial lesions superficially resemble acne. However, they do not involve the sebaceous glands. Although these lesions can be quite disfiguring, there are far more serious consequences of tuberous sclerosis. About 65% of people with tuberous sclerosis have seizures which may be severe. Unfortunately the seizures, especially if they occur within the first 18 months of life, lead to learning difficulties in about 40% of those affected. These learning difficulties can be severe. About a quarter of those with tuberous sclerosis have no speech and about the same proportion display autistic features. Hyperactivity and attention deficit disorders are also common, and destructive behaviour and deliberate self-harm are not infrequent.
