The effects of mTOR inhibitors on the developing fetus at the doses used in this study are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of the study. Because of the possibility of drug interactions and the potential effect of female hormones on the growth of kidney angiomyolipomas and lymphangioleiomyomatosis, estrogen-containing oral contraceptives are not recommended in women enrolled in this study, so an effective non-estrogen or barrier method of contraception must be used.

* No planned changes in school placement in children and adolescents;
* Availability of reliable transportation to attend clinic visits;
* availability of a trustworthy informant who interacts with subject on a regular basis;
* Ability to participate in the testing procedures to the extent that valid standard scores and biological samples can be obtained.

* Significant medical illness, such as endocrinopathies, cardiovascular disease, or severe chronic malnutrition;
* Pregnancy, planned pregnancy, or unwillingness to use adequate contraception;
* Planned changes to concomitant medications;
