Swarm cases

receipt 3110: DCTN1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.33 (p 0.185, n 18), 95% CI -0.69 to +0.16. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.37 (p 0.132, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.38 (p 0.118, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.46 to -0.25, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.33 (p 0.185, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in oligodendrocytes: -0.66 (p 0.0030, n 18) vs -0.33 in dopamine neurons. proposing oligodendrocytes.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for DCTN1 in dopamine neurons.

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