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.

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!
