      GroupInfo: Clinical characteristics of 258 patients from 80 unrelated Chinese families were reported in this study. Grouped by the 21 mutations found, 3 families with 13 members total were described. it is unclear how many distinct families are reported in group 6B. 9 individuals were described. Phenotypic information was given for this mutation.

      Case: M, 30Y0M, Chinese

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: The proband (patient 23) had three family members genetically confirmed with the mutation: his son/ patient 61 (asymptomatic at time of assessment), his daughter/ patient 62 (asymptomatic at time of assessment), and his cousin/ the son of his Aunt 3/ patient 68 (CNS hemangioblastoma at 26). The proband also had 5 family members who passed away before they could be confirmed with the mutation: his father/patient 63 (CNS hemangioblastoma at 35, retinal angioma at 35); his sister/ patient 64 (CNS hemangioblastoma at 24 and multiple pancreatic cysts/tumors at 31); his aunt 1/ patient 65 had a CNS hemangioblastoma at 35; his aunt 2/ patient 66 had a CNS hemangioblastoma at 20; and his aunt 3/ patient 67 had a CNS hemangioblastoma at 44.

    1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmita

      During shmita, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity, including plowing, planting, pruning and harvesting, is forbidden by halakha (Jewish law).

      The sabbath year (shmita; Hebrew: שמיטה, literally "release"), also called the sabbatical year or shǝvi'it (שביעית‎, literally "seventh"), or "Sabbath of The Land", is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah in the Land of Israel and is observed in Judaism.

    1. In order to protect local interests, and to prevent sectional jealousies, it was found requisite that the three great divisions into which British North America is separated, should be represented in the Upper House on the principle of equality. There are three great sections, having different interests, in this proposed Confederation.

    2. To the Upper House is to be confided the protection of sectional interests ; therefore is it that the three great divisions are there equally represented, for the purpose of defending such interests against the combinations of majorities in the Assembly.

    1. But the very essence of our compact is that the union shall be federal and not legislative. Our Lower Canada friends have agreed to give us representation by population in the Lower House, on the express condition that they shall have equality in the Upper House. On no other condition could we have advanced a step ; and, for my part, I am quite willing they should have it. In maintaining the existing sectional boundaries and handing over the control of local matters to local bodies, we recognize, to a certain extent, a diversity of interests ; and it was quite natural that the protection for those interests, by equality in the Upper Chamber, should be demanded by the less numerous provinces.
