Story
The Tuberous Sclerosis Association (TSA) is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting people affected by Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). As a small charity we rely entirely on the kindness and generosity of others, donations have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of people affected by the rare condition. Donations will enable the charity to continue to provide vital support to people living with TSC and allow the charity to continue to lead research into treatments which eliminate the effects of the condition.
TSC is a rare genetic condition that affects around 1 million people worldwide. A person is born with TSC, meaning that the condition is not something that can develop over time. However, problems from TSC might not be obvious until later on life. TSC causes non-cancerous growths to develop in different organs around the body, such as the brain, eyes, heart, lungs, kidney and skin.
Common problems from TSC can include epilepsy, autism, learning difficulties and kidney problems. However, the way that TSC impacts on a person's life can vary considerably.
