Study description

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by inactivating mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. Lesions in TSC patients can occur in the brain, kidneys, heart, liver, lungs and skin, and can manifest with renal and or pulmonary complications, autism, mental retardation and epilepsy.There is common agreement that there are still gaps in understanding the course of TSC manifestations and their prognostic role, rare symptoms and co-morbidities, interventions, treatments and their outcomes, and quality of life. The registry will address many of these gaps by collecting data from patients across many countries worldwide. The data collected might influence and improve patient’s treatment standards and flows. An additional purpose of this registry is to inform the research in TSC. Data on the long-term safety of the prescribed treatment with Votubia® (everolimus) in the licensed indications will be collected in a TOSCA safety sub-study.
