The swarm's case
receipt 0022: FBXO7 in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.39 (p 0.046, n 55), 95% CI +0.14 to +0.60. the interval excludes zero: something may be there, smaller than a half can see.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.38 (p 0.053, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: +0.51 (p 0.0091, n 55). not the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.34 to +0.42, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.43 (p 0.034, n 46). robust.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for FBXO7 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
