receipt 15355: ST6GALNAC4 in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.30 (p 0.228, n 18), 95% CI -0.67 to +0.20. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.28 (p 0.254, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.30 (p 0.232, n 18). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.37 to -0.20, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.30 (p 0.228, n 18). fragile.
- cell type
- strongest in astrocytes: -0.68 (p 0.0019, n 18) vs -0.30 in dopamine neurons. proposing astrocytes.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for ST6GALNAC4 in dopamine neurons.
