About Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)

TSC is a genetic condition that can lead to growths in various organs of the body. It is a rare condition affecting between 3,700 and 11,000 people in the UK.  The organs most commonly affected by growths are the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs.  These growths may be referred to as benign tumours, but they are not cancerous.  When they cause problems, it is mainly because of their size and where they are in the body.

Eight out of ten people living with TSC have epilepsy.  One in every two people have learning disabilities such as intellectual impairment and problems with attention and memory.  Many people living with TSC also have behavioural problems such as autism, ADHD, aggression, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders which can have a serious impact on family life.

There is a wide range of severity in TSC.  Some people living with TSC are so mildly affected that they experience few problems.  Other people living with TSC can be severely affected and need life-long support from their families or live in residential care.

About the Tuberous Sclerosis Association (TSA)

The TSA is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting people living with TSC and their families.  Our vision is a world where TSC and its effects are conquered.  Our mission is to provide help for today and a cure for tomorrow.  Our aims are to: make a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of people living with TSC, their families and carers; lead research into the tools, technologies and treatments which eliminate the effects of TSC; and lead innovation in the integration of medical and social care services.
