Hello FreeSurfer experts,

In my case-control study, I have a dataset of 5 healthy controls (HCs) and
one patient (PAT). I was wondering if there is any way to perform GLM for
PAT > HCs on brain morphometry data.

When I tried to follow instructions from here:
https://secure-web.cisco.com/1aK-KNfU8HH_e-fpaIAGAkK_0d2hcDIl4JpjyDUomASQEQQJehjuhA0YYNd1-yCMyLrNtRVInHC0sL4ZGQSm_hx-e7WqN75sm22gAExeDyUksUiv3NFy2UeyAzhzh7cNHQd3Uf5EAsh0E1za-xLWZQArzwTi3Bn_5I9N1UoxsMjYkGv5oZxPiqEXVD5BEsxQiOPkQtZJuTIDOtckipDfTK-LEDpsCXFCAShvieYfbxxg0ec00jOhHeoAyF4ZLaU_-CqhBmbOtWCJUC56qpOxRmizvYekBnUs8Nlzv3M50Fu7V8kklIdu8eSaJSTnIRHLld9QqWlnqRDFQoChfS_1bcQ/https%3A%2F%2Fsurfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu%2Ffswiki%2FFsTutorial%2FGroupAnalysis,
 the
mri_glm fit command gives me the following error:

Class Size and Means of each Continuous Variable

1 HC  5  24.2000   0.6000

2 Tumor  1  50.0000   1.0000

ERROR: Class Tumor has 1 members. With 2 variables and using DODS, you need
at least 3 members


It seems at-least three subjects are required in the Tumor category -
because I have age and sex covariates in my fsgd file.


I was wondering if there is any way to still perform the above GLM analysis
or any other alternatives available to compare HCs vs one PAT.


Thanks!
