One of the earliest signs of tuberous sclerosis is white skin patches on a baby's body, called hypomelanotic macules. As the child gets older, he or she may develop other lesions such as a rash across the cheeks and nose, areas of thickened skin, and small bumps under the fingernails or toenails.

The disorder affects some children severely, while others are so mildly affected that it may go undiagnosed. Some children with TSC experience developmental delays, mental retardation, or autism; however, many people with TSC also live independent, healthy lives and enjoy challenging professions.

Tuberous sclerosis is often first found during infancy or childhood. Sometimes tuberous sclerosis can have such mild symptoms that the condition isn't diagnosed until adulthood, or it's not diagnosed at all.
