  • Patent number: 6232452
    Abstract: Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by widespread development of growths in many tissues and organs. A gene (TSC2) is identified on chromosome 16 which is mutated in TSC and which may behave as a tumour suppressor. Screening of actual or suspected TSC patients for normal or mutated TSC2 can be used for diagnostic purposes. TSC2 protein (tuberin) may be used to treat or prevent unrestrained cell division and/or tumour development in patients with or without TSC.
    Type: Grant
