Table 4.

Comparisons of malformation frequency between HD and other diseases/controls in the cohorts.

In contrast to the discovery cohort, where the figures represent the total number of whole brains examined, the figures in the validation cohort represent the total number of half brains. P values represent two-sided Fisher’s exact tests comparing the frequency of heterotopias in HD and that of the other respective conditions.
