Abstract:Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant progressive brain disorder, caused by a pathological expansion of a CAG repeat that encodes the huntingtin gene. This genetic neurodegenerative rare disease is characterized by cognitive, motor, and neuropsychiatric manifestations. The aim of the treatment is symptomatic and addresses the hyperkinetic disorders (chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, tics, etc.) and the behavioural and cognitive disturbances (depression, anxiety, psychosis, etc.) associated with the dis… Show more
“…However, this is exactly how the pooled estimates reported in a previous meta-analysis study 5 have been used. [6][7][8][9] This misinterpretation is made even more likely due to an error in the reporting of the key measures of study heterogeneity, Q (which follows a χ 2 distribution and therefore allows us to test the significance of the heterogeneity) and I 2 . The values of Q and I 2 reported in tables 1 and 2 of Medina et al 1 suggest that heterogeneity is very small or absent.…”
