Book Chapter
Howe, C. J., Serfontein, J., Nisbet, R. E. R., & de Vries, P. J. (2015). Viewing Animal Models for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex in the Light of Evolution. In Organism Models of Autism Spectrum Disorders. , (99-115). Springer New York. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4939-2250-5_4

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multisystem disorder usually caused by a mutation in either the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. Approximately 50 % of individuals with TSC develop an autism spectrum disorder. Between 1 and 4 % of autism is attributable to t...
