This study is to our knowledge the first to investigate with diffusion imaging the network of anatomical connectivity in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) patients and its relationship to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our results suggest that the network is globally significantly affected in TSC patients with ASD.
