  • ACT advanced cell technlogy are going to start clinical trials Q1 of 2011 for Stargardt and AMD so don't give up hope.

    The londonproject is going to start in Q4 with trials vr AMD and eventually other eye problems. Its is wat keeps me going.

  • @sicandoverrated =) I've never given up hope =) Thanks for sharing the info!

  • Great job, Michelle! You are a brave woman. My brother and I have been dealing with Stargardt's for over 20 years. We're botyh at about 20/200 and seem to have stabilized years ago. We need willing leaders like you in our community!

  • Hi. I have Stargart's too. You mentioned that Stargart's is hereditary. That's correct. But it does not skip generations. It's a recessive disease meaning both of your parents where carriers of the defective gene. So if your partner (father of your child) was a carrier, your child has a 25% chance of also having Stargart's. The good news tho' is that the odds of your partner being a carrier is very slim.
