Tuberous sclerosis.

Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is an autosomal dominant disorder with a significant range of clinical expression. Renal, pulmonary, central nervous system, and cardiac complications may result in severe morbidity. Early recognition of the syndrome is important to ensure prompt identification of systemic involvement. We review the clinical features of tuberous sclerosis and discuss recent advances in our understanding of its pathogenesis and appropriate management.
