receipt 14612: TAOK2 in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.48 (p 0.045, n 18), 95% CI -0.77 to -0.01. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.59 (p 0.0099, n 18). holds up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.66 (p 0.0030, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.61 to -0.39, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.48 (p 0.045, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- strongest in astrocytes: -0.59 (p 0.0096, n 18) vs -0.48 in dopamine neurons. proposing astrocytes.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for TAOK2 in dopamine neurons.
follow-up registered; not confirmed in substantia nigra, an independent cohort.
