Comprehensive genetic and phenotype analysis of 95 individuals with mosaic tuberous sclerosis complex

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurogenetic disorder due to loss-of-function TSC1 or TSC2 variants, characterized by tumors affecting multiple organs, including skin, brain, heart, lung, and kidney. Mosaicism for TSC1 or TSC2 variants occurs in 10%–15% of individuals diagnosed with TSC. Here,...

Zusammenfassung:Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurogenetic disorder due to loss-of-function TSC1 or TSC2 variants, characterized by tumors affecting multiple organs, including skin, brain, heart, lung, and kidney. Mosaicism for TSC1 or TSC2 variants occurs in 10%–15% of individuals diagnosed with TSC. Here, we report comprehensive characterization of TSC mosaicism by using massively parallel sequencing (MPS) of 330 TSC samples from a variety of tissues and fluids from a cohort of 95 individuals with mosaic TSC. TSC1 variants in individuals with mosaic TSC are much less common (9%) than in germline TSC overall (26%) (p
