Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of benign tumors in multiple organs, including the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs, and skin. It is caused by mutations in either the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, which encode proteins hamartin and tuberin, respectively. These proteins are involved in cell growth and differentiation, and their dysfunction leads to the formation of hamartomas.
