7.
Clue : A genetic, neuromuscular disorder that causes progressive degeneration resulting in muscle weakness, atrophy, and difficulty with movement, swallowing, and breathing.

3.
Clue : An aggressive soft tissue cancer, typically affecting young adults near joints in the limbs and causing slow-growing, painful, deep-seated masses.
4.
Clue : A rare tumor of the adrenal gland that causes overproduction of adrenaline and noradrenaline, leading to severely high blood pressure, headaches, palpitations, and excessive sweating.
5.
Clue : A unique and aggressive liver tumor that occurs distinctively in young patients without underlying liver disease.
