[edit] Inclusion criteria
One problem with any timeline of key events is deciding what to include. Unless some objective and obvious criteria can be established, then the decision will be subjective and count as original research if made by an editor. To solve this, I've drawn on the few timelines already in print:
- "Hisorical Background" – a chapter of Curatolo's 2003 textbook on Tuberous Sclerosis, which is the only current textbook on the disease and supersedes the earlier monograph by Gómez.
- "Zur Geschichte der Tuberösen Sklerose" – by HD Rott, et al for the German Tuberous Sclerosis Foundation in 2005.
- "History of the tuberous sclerosis complex" – by MR Gómez in 1995.
All the key events in this timeline are present on those two timelines with the following exceptions:
- 1850. From Jay (2004) "Historical contributions to pediatric pathology: Tuberous Sclerosis".
- 1966. From Bebin (1993).
- 1864. From Acierno (1994) "The History of Cardiology".
- 1954 and 1994. Yeung's 1994 paper provides the information on the Eker rat that is briefly mentioned by other histories.
- 2002 – 2006. Curatolo's first edition doesn't reach this far. Rott's article covers the ground but cites informal 2004 TSC conference talks. I've taken these and found the 2002/2006 published papers that the talks will have cited or pre-date.

[edit] Style
There doesn't seem to be any one style for writing a detailed timeline on Wikipedia. Medical papers have their own distinctive style for summarising the history of a subject. The terse "Surname (Year) discovered xyz" style is dry and uninformative. Where possible I've added the nationality, location, full name and occupation. I've tried not to single-out the lead author if the team is large. Colin°Talk 17:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] To do
- Expand the remaining stub timeline entries.
- Wikilink medical terms, etc.
- Write stub articles for the notable physicians.
- Copyedit and revise.
- Peer review.
[edit] Scrapbook
1993 Fernández-González et al. Lung transplant. (A letter to the journal. Does it suggest or report on a case?)
- Fernández-González A, Llorens R, Lecumberri F (1993). "Pulmonary tuberous sclerosis: is there a place for lung transplantation?". Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation 12 (3): 534. PMID 8329435. as cited in Rott (2005)
1997 Wendy Spangler and colleagues reported a case of a 5-year old boy with TSC who died after developing a cerebral aneurysm. Cerebrovascular complications are considered rare with TSC.
- Spangler W, Cosgrove G, Moumdjian R, Montes J (1997). "Cerebral arterial ectasia and tuberous sclerosis: case report". Neurosurgery 40 (1): 191-3; discussion 193-4. PMID 8971842. as cited in Rott (2005)
