Official title
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Pregnancy Registry
Overview
This study is an observational registry designed to gather information about Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) and Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) in pregnant women and their child.
Detailed description
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is caused by mutations in tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC 1) and tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC 2) leading to overactivation of the mammilian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway resulting in multiorgan disease. Specifically, patients are at risk for autism, epilepsy, intellectual disability, renal cysts, tuberous sclerosis associated neuropsychiatric disorder (TAND), lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), and benign tumors throughout the body including subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs), renal and liver angiomyolipomas (AMLs), and cardiac rhabdomyomas (rhabdomyomas).
Sporadic LAM occurs mostly in women and many patients with LAM have TSC gene mutations.
The purpose of this study is to gather information to help clinicians develop evidence-based guidance for the care of TSC and LAM patients during pregnancy and to provide screening recommendations for fetal TSC.
Participants will be asked to complete monthly online surveys screening for changes in the pregnancy, maternal health/medication changes, and other care. For infants enrolled after birth, clinical data will be collected and reviewed for up to 5 years of age.
Primary outcome measures
- Safety of mTOR inhibitor in Pregnancy -- mTOR inhibitor adherence [Time frame: During pregnancy (up to 40 weeks) through 6 months post-delivery]
- Safety of mTOR inhibitor in Pregnancy -- mTOR inhibitor dosing [Time frame: During pregnancy (up to 40 weeks) through 6 months post-delivery]
- Safety of mTOR inhibitor in Pregnancy -- side effects [Time frame: During pregnancy (up to 40 weeks) through 6 months post-delivery]
- Maternal-Fetal Complications in TSC [Time frame: During pregnancy (up to 40 weeks)]
- Maternal Post-Partum Behavioral Health [Time frame: Post-partum up to 6 months]
- Maternal Post-Partum Mental Health [Time frame: Post-partum up to 6 months]
- Optimum Time of Fetal Imaging for TSC [Time frame: Birth through 5 years of Age]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- A pregnant woman with a clinical or genetic diagnosis of TSC as determined by the 2021 Consensus Guidelines (1)
- A pregnant woman with a diagnosis of LAM
- A pregnant woman with a variant of uncertain significance in TSC 1 or TSC 2
- A pregnant woman who is pregnant and the fetus has a 50% chance of TSC as deemed by the PI or Sub-Is
- A pregnant woman whose fetus is found to have concern for TSC secondary to rhabdomyomas, tubers, or congenital subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.
- An infant born to an enrolled individual.
Exclusion criteria
- A pregnant woman without TSC who has used preimplantation genetic testing for TSC unless qualifies under inclusion criteria #4.
- Infants diagnosed with TSC whose birth mother was not enrolled.
