BackgroundTuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that involves abnormalities of the skin, hamartomas in the heart, brain, and kidneys, seizures, as well as TSC‐associated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND). About 90%–95% of individuals with TSC will have an identifiable pathogenic variant in eitherTSC1orTSC2. We present here two family members with clinical diagnoses of TSC that were later determined to be due to two different genetic etiologies.MethodsA 2‐year‐old Caucasian female (Patient 1) was born to non‐consanguineous healthy parents and was determined to have a clinical diagnosis of TSC at 2 months old. Her paternal great‐uncle (Patient 2) was also known to have a clinical diagnosis of TSC. Sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis forTSC1andTSC2were performed on both individuals.ResultsMutation analysis revealed that both Patient 1 and Patient 2 had identifiable pathogenic variants inTSC2. Patient 1 had c.4800_4801delTG (p.Cys1600Trpfs*2), while Patient 2 had c.4470_4471delinsTT (p.Glu1490_Lys1491delinsAsp*).ConclusionTo our knowledge, our clinical report is of significance as it is the third kindred to be identified with affected members with two distinct genetic etiologies for TSC. Our case report highlights the importance of incorporating genetic testing into the clinical evaluation for individuals with features suggestive of TSC.
