Swarm cases

receipt 6001: RYR1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.41 (p 0.095, n 18), 95% CI -0.73 to +0.08. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.43 (p 0.079, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.54 (p 0.020, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.49 to -0.33, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.41 (p 0.095, n 18). robust.
cell type
strongest in microglia: -0.63 (p 0.0047, n 18) vs -0.41 in dopamine neurons. proposing microglia.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for RYR1 in dopamine neurons.

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