Tuberous Sclerosis Complex with rare associated findings in the gastrointestinal system: a case report and review of the literature.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Enhanced expression of MAdCAM-1 (mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1) is associated with the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease. The clinical significance of elevated MAdCAM-1 expression is supported by studies showing that immunoneutralization of MAdCAM-1, or its ligands reduce infla...
