The Genomic Landscape of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. Homo sapiens

In this study, we characterized the genomic landscape of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a rare genetic disease causing multisystem growth of benign tumors and other hamartomatous lesions. We analyzed 127 human tissues, including 111 TSC-associated samples and 16 non-TSC negative controls, using multiple genomic platforms including whole exome sequencing, targeted sequencing of known disease-causative loci (TSC1 and TSC2), mRNA sequencing, high-density SNP arrays, and DNA methylation arrays.
