Overview
Common causes of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma include genetic mutations. Common genetic mutations involved in the development of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma can be found here.[1]
Causes
Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma is predominantly seen in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex. Tuberous sclerosis is caused by a mutation in the TSC1 and TSC2 tumor suppressor genes on chromosome 9 and 16, respectively.[2]
