It depends a bit on: your exact genetic defect however 95% of Starsgart disease is autosomal recessive inheritance so each child has a 1/4 chance of getting the disease. It usually does not manifest until adolescence and patients rarely go blind with it. Here is a link to tell you more https://nei.nih.gov/health/stargardt/star_facts
