DOCK4 in microglia, braak+0.20 (p 0.607) → +0.12 (p 0.749)receipt 16698
DOCK4 in dopamine neurons, braak-0.05 (p 0.893) → +0.06 (p 0.875)receipt 16699

receipt 16699: DOCK4 in dopamine neurons, braak

power: full sample +0.05 (p 0.834, n 18), 95% CI -0.42 to +0.51. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.06 (p 0.800, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.04 (p 0.888, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range -0.07 to +0.19, sign flips 5; without severely affected donors +0.05 (p 0.834, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for DOCK4 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 16698: DOCK4 in microglia, braak

power: full sample +0.21 (p 0.413, n 18), 95% CI -0.29 to +0.61. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.21 (p 0.413, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: microglia share of nuclei vs axis -0.11 (p 0.652); controlling for it: +0.26 (p 0.302, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.11 to +0.34, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.21 (p 0.413, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for DOCK4 in microglia.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.
