Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by systemic hamartomas, including skin and neural symptoms. Many patients exhibit epilepsy, intellectual disability, autism, and other behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms, referred to as TSCassociated neuropsychiatric disorders (TAND). TSC involves the overactivation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), specifically mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1). Therefore, mTORC1 inhibitors effectively treat brain, kidney, lung, and skin hamartomas in TSC. However, the effect of mTORC1 inhibitors on neurological symptoms in patients with TSC remains unclear, despite reports of mTORC1 inhibitors improving epilepsy, behavioral disorders, and learning disabilities in animal models.
