Overview
Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is predominantly seen in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex which is caused by a mutation in the TSC1 and TSC tumor suppressor genes.
Causes
Genetic Causes
Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is predominantly seen in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex. Tuberous sclerosis is caused by a mutation in the TSC1 and TSC2 tumor suppressor genes on chromosome 9 and 16, respectively.[1]
