TSC affects up to 1 million people worldwide, with one-third of those genetically inheriting the lifelong disorder. This rare condition causes non-cancerous tumors to form in vital organs and can also affect many different parts of the body, including the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs and skin. People with TSC can also have epilepsy, autism, developmental delays and behavioral issues. One of the most challenging parts of TSC is that even though many share genetic threads in common, the journey is different for everyone – each person experiences different manifestations and disease progression.
