can you explain the answer for 26? Because I didn't find a connection
between cafe au lait spots and hepatic diseases. Maybe you have a better source or maybe I am wrong and are not cafe au lait spots.
For the next one I guess the answer it is E.

The first question is E, cafe au lait spots are associated with neurofibromatosis.....and i also think the the other one is E, they are the cytokines more involved with acute inflammation...
