Racial differences in the dermatological manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex and the potential effects on diagnosis and care.

We highlight a disparity in the representation of Black participants within the NHD, TSCOE, and TSC trials, in addition to differences in utilization of molecular testing and topical mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor therapy between Black and White individuals. We show a trend toward later diagnosis age in Black individuals. These differences between races warrant further study across additional clinical sites and other minority groups.
