The Washington University Tuberous Sclerosis Center team sees pediatric and adult patients at the Washington University Tuberous Sclerosis Clinic at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and affiliated sites. This is one of approximately 50 clinics in the U.S. dedicated specifically to the care of individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).

The mission of the Tuberous Sclerosis Clinic is to provide multidisciplinary, comprehensive care of children and adults with TSC and to promote education and awareness about the disease.

Because TSC often affects multiple organs throughout the body, the clinic incorporates a multidisciplinary approach involving physicians, nurses, therapists, and other staff members from different Washington University specialty divisions, including cardiology, dermatology, genetics, nephrology, neuropsychology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, psychiatry and urology.

Children are seen primarily at the Pediatric TSC clinic and affiliated pediatric subspecialty clinics at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Adult patients are seen primarily at the Adult TSC clinic and affiliated adult specialty clinics at Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
