This effect leads to clear sex difference - where female cells express the ~100 or so autosomal genes at a lower level than male cells (Figure 7H)." This sweeping statement fails to include that in MEFs there is no significant expression difference, in transgenics only borderline significance, and at d14 no significant expression difference.
Although Kaplan-Meier analysis still indicated borderline significance of STK17A as a predictor of survival in GBM ( Figure 7B ) and Cox analysis indicated a significant association between STK17A expression and survival even after correcting for EGFR, gender and molecular phenotype, the HR values were lower as compared to the LGG cohort and significance was lost when correcting for age (Table E and Table F in Table S1 ).
21 , 22 Among these, P-hacking and interpretation bias (eg, “borderline significance” for nonsignificant statistical endpoints, “statistically significant” but clinically inconsequential observed differences) have vexed statisticians to the extent of revising definitions of statistical significance. 23 This bias becomes especially critical in situations in which there is minimal established comparative prior knowledge, such as during the current pandemic involving a novel corona virus with high morbidity and mortality.
