Small tumors: Ts is a genetic disease that causes small tumors to grow in various places in the body. Tumors can grow in the heart, eyes, brain, kidneys, as well as on the face and skin. Brain tumors will cause seizures, retardation, and hydrocephalus. Kidney tumors can cause kidney failure. Heart tumors can be present even at birth. New medication now available may shrink these tumors.
