Hmmm,
Care should be taken with the interpretation of results in this study. The age matching between the case (HD) and control groups is not great.
Cases have a mean +/- s.d. age at death of 57+/-12.3, while the controls are 79 +/- 13.45. A Welch’s T-test comparing these data gives p=0.00011. The observations made in this study could therefore simply be normal changes in the ageing brain, rather than as a result of HD?
