Sample size doesn't really matter much in this kind of study.

Ideally you'd match it to some population of interest. For my own medical affairs, I don't care what grand-pappy's results are here, I want to know how cousin Tim fairs.

Why not? I’m no statistician, so my basic understanding is you should always prefer bigger sample sizes to ensure statistically significant findings.
