The swarm's case
receipt 1037: DYRK1B in dopamine neurons, braak
- power
- full sample -0.41 (p 0.093, n 18), 95% CI -0.73 to +0.07. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for sex: -0.43 (p 0.075, n 18). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: -0.47 (p 0.047, n 18). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.48 to -0.33, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors -0.41 (p 0.093, n 18). robust.
- cell type
- strongest in microglia: -0.60 (p 0.0083, n 18) vs -0.41 in dopamine neurons. proposing microglia.
- axis
- no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for DYRK1B in dopamine neurons.
