TSC1
Chr 9ADTSC complex subunit 1
The protein hamartin forms a complex with tuberin to negatively regulate mTORC1 signaling, which controls cell growth, and also functions as a co-chaperone for Hsp90 to prevent protein degradation. Loss-of-function mutations cause tuberous sclerosis complex type 1, focal cortical dysplasia type II, and lymphangioleiomyomatosis through autosomal dominant inheritance. The pathogenic mechanism involves loss of growth regulation leading to formation of hamartomas and other developmental abnormalities.

Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Among the most LoF-intolerant genes (~top 3%)
Moderately missense-constrained (top ~2.5%)
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
