The TSC Alliance has a long-standing history of international involvement within the TSC community: supporting advocacy and research throughout the world with our Global Alliance Program and International Scientific Advisory Board; hosting or participating in International TSC Research Conferences; and membership within TSC International, a consortium of TSC organizations around the world.

TSC Alliance Global Alliance Program

The TSC Alliance Global Alliance Program was created as a way to address unmet needs within the global TSC community at the country level. It provides the opportunity for the TSC Alliance to share experiences and assist in the start-up or support of TSC-related organizations in other countries.

A Global Alliance is a structured group of empowered and caring volunteers who work closely with the TSC Alliance to facilitate local connections for individuals and families affected by TSC, build relationships with local healthcare providers, and increase awareness while supporting the mission of the organization.

The TSC Alliance is pleased to partner with the following TSC-related organizations in other countries:

If you are interested in starting a TSC organization in your country, including partnering with the TSC Alliance, please contact Katie Smith at ksmith@tscalliance.org.

Global Alliance TSC Clinics

Working with the TSC community is a key aspect of a Global Alliance TSC Clinic. The TSC Alliance recognizes TSC Clinics only in countries that we have a formal Global Alliance partnership with. We currently recognize TSC Clinics in Canada, India, Israel and Mexico.
