receipt 10051: SLCO1A2 in dopamine neurons, braak

power: full sample +0.21 (p 0.413, n 18), 95% CI -0.29 to +0.61. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.23 (p 0.355, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.05 (p 0.854); controlling for it: +0.21 (p 0.393, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.10 to +0.30, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.21 (p 0.413, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SLCO1A2 in dopamine neurons.

case closed: nothing better to follow up.

receipt 10050: SLCO1A2 in oligodendrocytes, braak

power: full sample +0.31 (p 0.211, n 18), 95% CI -0.18 to +0.68. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
confounder: adjusted for sex: +0.32 (p 0.198, n 18). does not hold up.
composition: oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis +0.03 (p 0.915); controlling for it: +0.42 (p 0.084, n 18). could be the mix.
skeptic: leave-one-out range +0.22 to +0.41, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.31 (p 0.211, n 18). fragile.
cell type: no other cell group does better.
axis: no measure beats "tracks Braak Lewy-body stage" for SLCO1A2 in oligodendrocytes.
