receipt 10758: SLC37A1 in dopamine neurons, braak

power
full sample -0.35 (p 0.156, n 18), 95% CI -0.70 to +0.14. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder
adjusted for sex: -0.34 (p 0.167, n 18). does not hold up.
composition
dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.49 (p 0.038, n 18). not the mix.
skeptic
leave-one-out range -0.51 to -0.27, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.35 (p 0.156, n 18). fragile.
cell type
strongest in microglia: -0.65 (p 0.0034, n 18) vs -0.35 in dopamine neurons. proposing microglia.
axis
no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SLC37A1 in dopamine neurons.
