In Stargardt’s, the affected cells are NOT:
|
|
in the retina
|
|
|
immune cells
|
|
|
photosensitive
|
|
|
cones

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stem Cell Clinical Trials for Stargardt’s Disease The idea is that by replacing healthy RPE cells, this will stop or slow down photoreceptor cell loss and thereby slow / halt vision loss. Early results have been promising with a successful safety trial, conducted in the USA and UK.
Detailed explanation-2: -Both Stargardt disease and Best disease are genetic disorders that affect the macula. But they’re caused by changes in different genes. Stargardt disease may lead to yellow or white flecks in your retina. Best disease may cause a large yellow oval to appear because a cyst forms under your macula.
