- A close family member has TSC and you want to be checked to see whether you also have TSC

At your first appointment we will:
- Ask you what you expect from your appointment and any questions you may have
- Ask you about your medical history, including your medications, doses and any tests and scans you may have had - please bring any relevant clinic letters with you
- Carry out a detailed physical examination to look for any outward signs of TSC you may have
