Area of Science:

Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Genetics and Rare Diseases

Background:

Tuberous sclerosis syndrome (TSC) is a genetic disorder characterized by benign tumors in various organs.
Infantile autism, now known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting communication and behavior.

Observation:

A case study of a patient exhibiting symptoms of both TSC and ASD.
Detailed clinical observations of the patient's neurological and dermatological manifestations.

Findings:

The co-occurrence of TSC and ASD in this patient suggests a potential etiological or pathogenetic relationship.
Discussion of possible biological mechanisms linking the genetic basis of TSC to autistic features.

Implications:
