• Genetic testing and Stargardts

• My husband just got negative results from a genetic test looking for Stargardts. We are devastated since we've been holding out hope that the ACT stem cell treatment will one day be successful and applicable to him. My husband's doctor is still convinced he has Stargardts despite the genetic test results. I'm wondering if anyone knows whether or not the trials are being done only on people who test positive genetically and whether or not it would be available to those without positive genetic "proof" they have the condition. Thank you

• where is he getting genetically tested? in new york? If he has SD, the blood tests would show 2 genes. I am a bit confused by the message. If you show one gene, you are just a carrier and not effected by SD.
