Summary

This study is building a large collection of blood, DNA, and tissue samples along with health records from up to 5,000 people with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) or a related condition called lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Participants can give blood or cheek swab samples and allow researchers to track their health over time. The goal is to provide scientists with the materials they need to better understand TSC and develop new treatments.
