The swarm's case
receipt 0026: GBA1 in dopamine neurons, resilience
- power
- full sample +0.09 (p 0.643, n 55), 95% CI -0.18 to +0.35. the interval is wide: not enough donors to tell.
- confounder
- adjusted for age, sex and PMI: +0.00 (p 1.000, n 55). does not hold up.
- composition
- dopamine neurons share of nuclei vs axis +0.12 (p 0.542); controlling for it: -0.02 (p 0.916, n 55). could be the mix.
- skeptic
- leave-one-out range +0.04 to +0.20, sign flips 0; without severely affected donors +0.01 (p 0.949, n 46). fragile.
- cell type
- no other cell group does better.
- axis
- no measure beats "differs in resilient donors (Lewy pathology, no parkinsonism)" for GBA1 in dopamine neurons.
case closed: nothing better to follow up.
