Swarm cases

receipt 4651: CHD7 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.03 (p 0.901, n 18), 95% CI -0.49 to +0.44. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.01 (p 0.956, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.06 (p 0.807, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.11 to +0.12, sign flips 4; without severely affected donors -0.03 (p 0.901, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in OPCs: +0.60 (p 0.0083, n 18) vs -0.03 in dopamine neurons. proposing OPCs.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for CHD7 in dopamine neurons.

follow-up registered; not confirmed in substantia nigra, an independent cohort.
