Can I Pass PV On To My Children?

Myeloproliferative Disorders: PV FAQ
There are a number of literature reports on occurences of PV or other myeloproliferative disorders in the same family. If you have young children, you probably should mention your condition to their pediatrician. If you have grown children, you may want to suggest that they have their blood counts checked periodically and make sure that their doctor knows of the family history. There is an article by Dr. Harriet S. Gilbert on our web page about familial occurences at MPD-NET

How high is the possibility that my children will pass on CDI to their children?

Frequently Asked Questions-Page 4
It 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.

faq
The 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.

Can I pass the risk of subarachnoid haemorrhage on to my children?

Frequently Asked Questions
There are a very small number of families who appear to have a familial tendency to develop aneurysms in the brain; these families are identified by having 2 or more first degree relatives who have had a proven subarachnoid haemorrhage and/or cerebral aneurysm. A first-degree relative is a parent, a child, or a sibling. For the majority of people who have a subarachnoid haemorrhage an inherited risk is not of concern.
