I-Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) yintlupheko yonyango engaqhelekanga. Akunqabile ukukhankanywa ngokumalunga ne-autism, kodwa enyanisweni, abaninzi abantu abane-TSC banokwenyaniswa ukuba bane-disism disorder disorder. Ngokutsho kweNIH:
I-Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) sisifo esingaqhelekanga sesifo sofuzo esibangela ukuba izilonda ezinobunzima zikhule kwiingqondo kunye nezinye izitho ezibalulekileyo ezifana neentso, intliziyo, amehlo, imiphunga kunye nolusu. Ixhaphaza ngokuqhelekileyo inkqubo yesantya. Ukongezelela kwiimvumi ezinobunzima ezenzeka rhoqo kwi-TSC, ezinye iimpawu eziqhelekileyo zibandakanya ukutshatyalaliswa, ukukhulelwa kwengqondo, iingxaki zokuziphatha kunye nokungaqhelekanga kwesikhumba.
Uxhumano phakathi kwe-TSC ne-Autism
Phantse i-50% yabantu bonke abafumene i-TSC baxilongwa nge-autism. Abaninzi aba-14% abantu abaneengxaki ze-autism kunye neengxaki zokubamba ingxaki ziyakwazi ukuxilongwa ne-TSC. Abaphandi abaqinisekanga ukuba kutheni i-autism ne-TSC ibonakala ixhunyiwe, kodwa ngokuhambelana ne-TC Alliance, ukufumana oku kutshanje kubonisa ukuba kwi-TC:
... kukho ukungaqhelekanga ngendlela eyahlukileyo kwimiba yengqondo edibanisa omnye nomnye, kungekhona kuphela kwi-lobes yesikhashana kodwa nakwezinye iindawo ezininzi zobuchopho. Ezi zidibaniso ezingavumelekanga, ezenzeke zizimeleyo zezigulane, zidibene ne-ASD kubantwana nakubantu abadala abane-TSC. Ukongezelela, uphando oluninzi luye lwabonisa ukuba ukuxhatshazwa kwaye, ngokukodwa, ukuqala kokuqala kokuthintela, kudibene nokuphuculwa kwentuthuko kunye ne-ASD. Ngoko ke, mhlawumbi idibeneyo yezinto ezikhokelela kwithuba eliphezulu le-ASD.
Nangona le ngcaciso emitsha, nangona kunjalo, akucaci ukuba ukutshatyalaliswa kokubangela ukuba i-autism - okanye ukuba ukuthathwa kweempawu kubangelwa iziqhelo ezingabonakaliyo ezibangelwa yi-autism.
Ukuqaphela nokuxilongwa kwe-TSC
Kunokwenzeka ukuba uzuze i-TSC kumzali. Uninzi lweziganeko, nangona kunjalo, zibangelwa ukutshintshwa kwezityalo zomzimba. Okokuthi, iigciwane lomntwana ziyatshintsha nangona kungekho mzali unayo i-TSC okanye i-gene engafanelekiyo. Xa i-TSC ifa, ivela kumzali omnye kuphela. Ukuba umzali unomsebenzi we-TSC, umntwana ngamnye unokufumana ithuba lokuphuhlisa i-disorder.
Abantwana abazuze ifa le-TSC abanakho iimpawu ezifanayo njengomzali wabo kwaye banokuba nohlobo olunamandla okanye olona lukhulu lwesifo.
Kwiimeko ezininzi, inkcazelo yokuqala yokuqonda i-TSC kukuba kubakho ukukhutshwa okanye ukulibaziseka uphuhliso. Kwezinye iimeko, isibonakaliso sokuqala singabomhlophe emakhanda. Ukuxilonga i-TSC, oogqirha basebenzisa i-CT okanye i-MRI imiqondo yengqondo, kunye ne-ultrasound yeentliziyo, isibindi kunye neentso.
Xa umntwana sele efunyanwe ukuba ne-TSC, kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba uya kuhlakulela i-autism. Ngelixa iimpawu zeengxaki zombini zenzeke, azifani - kwaye unyango lokuqala lwe-autism lungakhokelela kwiziphumo ezilungileyo kakhulu.
