How high is the possibility that my children will pass on CDI to their children?
Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4It sounds as though you have the autosomal dominant form of familial pituitary DI (adFPDI). If so, your affected children have a 50-50 chance of passing the disease to each of their children. If the genetic mutation responsible for the adFPDI in your family has not already been determined, you should have genetic analysis performed because the information will enable your children to have their children tested at birth (or even before) to find out if they will also get CDI.

SunPower - Home Owners - Solar Basics: FAQsPV is short for photovoltaic (photo=light, voltaic=electricity), another term for solar electric power. PV is a semiconductor-based technology used to convert light energy into direct current electricity, without moving parts, noise, fuel, or pollution. The terms "solar cell" and "PV cell" are used interchangeably.Related Questions
faqThe photovoltaic (PV) process converts sunlight, the most abundant energy source on the planet directly into electricity. The equipment required for this process has no moving parts and as a result requires minimal maintenance. In addition, the electricity is generated with no emissions and no noise. A PV cell consists of two or more thin layers of semiconducting material, most commonly silicon.Related Questions
