Regionally selective atrophy of subcortical structures in prodromal HD as revealed by statistical shape analysis

Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that involves preferential atrophy in the striatal complex and related subcortical nuclei. In this article, which is based on a dataset extracted from the PREDICT-HD study, we use statistical shape analysis with deformation markers obtained through ''Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping'' of cortical surfaces to highlight
