The swarm's case
receipt 0136: SCN1A in oligodendrocytes, resilience
- power
- full sample -0.01 (p 0.966, n 55), 95% CI -0.27 to +0.26. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: -0.07 (p 0.736, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- oligodendrocytes share of nuclei vs axis -0.52 (p 0.0075); controlling for it: -0.05 (p 0.801, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range -0.09 to +0.09, sign flips 19; without severely affected donors -0.10 (p 0.616, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for SCN1A in oligodendrocytes.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
