Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder affecting multiple organ systems observed in approximately 1 in 10,000 live births.1,2 Patients with TSC have a higher risk of developing benign tumors in the brain, kidneys, heart, liver, lungs, and skin, and a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders.3 However, due to the rarity of TSC, its comorbidity landscape has not been fully investigated. To characterize the comorbidities of TSC systematically, we employed a nationwide health insurance claims dataset to analyze the comorbidity landscape of TSC and determined the phenotypical differences between patients with TSC and participants without TSC matched on age and sex.
