Stargardt's Disease is considered a rare disease, with the incidence widely debated. Here are some statistics I can dig up about SD:
- SD affects about 1 in 10 000, so in Australia there should be approximately 2 300 people with SD ( I know about 10 so the other 2 290 people please get in touch!). There should be appropriately 31 800 in the United States and 6 400 in the UK.
- SD accounts for 7% of all retinal degeneration. Other retinal degenerations include retinitis pigmentosa, Usher's disease and Leber congenital amaurosis.
- SD is also knows as fundus flavimaculatus. I'm pretty certain this is what Harry Potter would have called it if he were diagnosed.
- It is thought that 5% of the population carry an abnormal gene for processing vitamin A. So 5% of the population have the possibility of developing a retinal disease.
- 100% of those affected by SD are amazing people!
Here's the official video for 2015.
