Abstract

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by pathogenic variants in TSC1 or TSC2, leading to mTOR pathway dysregulation and a spectrum of systemic and neurological manifestations. Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a multisystem genetic disorder frequently associated with early-onset, drug-resistant epilepsy, intellectual disability, and autism spectrum disorder-collectively known as TSC-associated developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). Advances in prenatal diagnostics and biomarker research now enable presymptomatic identification of high-risk infants. This review aims to synthesize current evidence on biomarker-informed, mechanism-based strategies for secondary prevention of DEE in TSC, offering a framework for personalized early interventions. Biomarkers, such as interictal epileptiform discharges, pathogenic TSC2 variants, and advanced neuroimaging metrics, predict epilepsy risk and neurodevelopmental trajectories. Preventive approaches include early initiation of vigabatrin and mTOR inhibitors, which show potential in reducing epilepsy severity and improving outcomes. Emerging strategies, including gene therapy, multi-omic profiling, and environmental enrichment, offer promise for disease modification. By linking predictive biomarkers to disease-modifying strategies, this review outlines a proactive and personalised approach to prevent or mitigate TSC-associated DEE. These insights help advance clinical decision-making and promote a shift toward precision prevention in paediatric epilepsy.

摘要

结节性硬化症(TSC)是一种常染色体显性疾病,由TSC1或TSC2的致病变异引起,导致mTOR信号通路失调,并出现一系列全身和神经学表现。结节性硬化症(TSC)是一种多系统遗传性疾病,常与早发性、耐药性癫痫、智力残疾和自闭症谱系障碍相关,统称为TSC相关的发育性和癫痫性脑病(DEE)。产前诊断和生物标志物研究的进展现在能够对高危婴儿进行症状前识别。本综述旨在综合目前关于基于生物标志物和机制的TSC中DEE二级预防策略的证据,提供一个个性化早期干预的框架。生物标志物,如发作间期癫痫样放电、致病性TSC2变异和先进的神经影像学指标,可预测癫痫风险和神经发育轨迹。预防方法包括早期使用氨己烯酸和mTOR抑制剂,这些药物在降低癫痫严重程度和改善预后方面显示出潜力。新兴策略,包括基因治疗、多组学分析和环境富集,为疾病改善带来了希望。通过将预测性生物标志物与疾病改善策略联系起来,本综述概述了一种积极主动的个性化方法,以预防或减轻TSC相关的DEE。这些见解有助于推进临床决策,并促进向儿科癫痫精准预防的转变。
