Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the widespread development of distinctive tumors termed hamartomas. TSC-determining loci have been mapped to chromosomes 9q34 ( TSC1 ) and 16p13 ( TSC2 ). The TSC1 gene was identified from a 900-kilobase region containing at least 30 genes. The 8.6-kilobase TSC1 transcript is widely expressed and encodes a protein of 130 kilodaltons (hamartin) that has homology to a putative yeast protein of unknown function. Thirty-two distinct mutations were identified in TSC1 , 30 of which were truncating, and a single mutation (2105delAAAG) was seen in six apparently unrelated patients. In one of these six, a somatic mutation in the wild-type allele was found in a TSC-associated renal carcinoma, which suggests that hamartin acts as a tumor suppressor.

  • PART, AD, and CTE all show a balanced 3R/4R tauopathy, prominent neuropil threads, and ready detection with CP13, MC1, and p62 antibodies.

    “Finally, PART, AD, and CTE all show a balanced 3R/4R tauopathy, prominent neuropil threads, and ready detection with CP13, MC1, and p62 antibodies [14, 20, 24]”
  • TSC2 contains a domain with homology to Rap1-GAP and forms a complex in vivo with TSC1, mediated by predicted coiled-coil domains at the TSC1 C terminus and the TSC2 N terminus.

    “TSC2 contains a domain with homology to Rap 1-GAP (van Slegtenhorst et al., 1997), and forms a complex in vivo with TSC1, mediated by predicted coiled-coil domains at the TSC1 C terminus and the TSC2 N terminus (van Slegtenhorst et al., 1998; Nellist et al., 1999) (Fig. 5A).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
