## Communicated by David W. Yandell Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a dominantly inherited multisystem disorder resulting in the development of hamartomatous growths in many organs. Genetic heterogeneity has been demonstrated linking the familial cases to either TSC1 at 9q34.3, or TSC2 at 16p1
The effects of missense changes and small in-frame deletions and insertions on protein function are not easy to predict, and the identification of such variants in individuals at risk of a genetic disease can complicate genetic counselling. One option is to perform functional tests to assess whether
Communicated by Arthur L. Beaudet Neurofibromatosis type 1 ( N F l ) is one of the most common autosomal dominant disorders, and is due to mutations within the NFI gene on chromosome 17q11.2. Only the middle 400 amino acids of the associated protein (neurofibromin) have a known function, comprising
## Abstract We investigated the effects of overexpression of the tuberous sclerosisβ1 and β2 (__TSC1/2__) gene products (hamartin and tuberin, respectively) in the human kidney epithelial cell line 293 with an inducible expression system. As we had observed previously in fibroblasts, 293 cells over
