receipt 1909: FBRSL1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.45 (p 0.059, n 18), 95% CI -0.76 to +0.02. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.48 (p 0.042, n 18). holds up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.60 (p 0.0083, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.58 to -0.39, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.45 (p 0.059, n 18). robust.
cell type
strongest in microglia: -0.63 (p 0.0051, n 18) vs -0.45 in dopamine neurons. proposing microglia.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for FBRSL1 in dopamine neurons.

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