TSC1 and tuberous sclerosis: In the present study, we assessed the prevalence of the BRAF V600E mutation in a large cohort of TSC related SEGAs (n=58 patients including 56 with clinical TSC) and found no evidence of either BRAF V600E or other mutations in BRAF. To confirm that these SEGAs fit the classic model of two hit TSC1 or TSC2 inactivation, we also performed massively parallel sequencing of these loci.
