Calling Your Health Care Provider

Notify your health care provider if either side of the family has a history of tuberous sclerosis. Since tuberous sclerosis also appears as a spontaneous mutation, call your health care provider if you notice symptoms suggestive of tuberous sclerosis in your child. Call a geneticist if your child is diagnosed with cardiac rhabdomyoma, as tuberous sclerosis is the leading cause of this tumor.
