What is TSC1 and TSC2 Gene (Tuberous Sclerosis) by MLPA?

This test specifically looks for changes in the TSC1 and TSC2 genes, which are associated with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). It uses a technique called MLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification) to detect deletions or duplications in these genes.

Why is this test important?

Confirming a diagnosis of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex is crucial for early intervention and management of this genetic disorder, which causes non-cancerous tumors to grow in various organs like the brain, kidneys, heart, and skin.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
