Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Internal medicine

Albert de la Chapelle mainly focuses on Genetics, Internal medicine, Colorectal cancer, Germline mutation and Microsatellite instability. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Endocrinology and Oncology. His work carried out in the field of Oncology brings together such families of science as BAALC and Myeloid leukemia, Immunology.

His research in Immunology intersects with topics in Survival rate, Blockade and Metastatic carcinoma. The Microsatellite instability study combines topics in areas such as MLH1, Loss of heterozygosity and Pathology. His studies deal with areas such as Immune checkpoint, Cancer research and Adenocarcinoma as well as DNA mismatch repair.

His most cited work include:

  • PD-1 Blockade in Tumors with Mismatch-Repair Deficiency (4640 citations)
  • PD-1 Blockade in Tumors with Mismatch-Repair Deficiency (4640 citations)
  • Clues to the pathogenesis of familial colorectal cancer (2375 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Genetics, Internal medicine, Cancer research, Gene and Molecular biology. Genetics is represented through his Locus, Genetic linkage, Haplotype, Gene mapping and Mutation research. He has included themes like Endocrinology and Oncology in his Internal medicine study.

In Oncology, Albert de la Chapelle works on issues like Myeloid leukemia, which are connected to BAALC. As a member of one scientific family, Albert de la Chapelle mostly works in the field of Cancer research, focusing on Thyroid carcinoma and, on occasion, Thyroid cancer. His study on Lynch syndrome also encompasses disciplines like

  • Microsatellite instability which connect with Pathology,
  • MLH1 that intertwine with fields like Germline mutation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (43.35%)
  • Internal medicine (24.89%)
  • Cancer research (17.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (24.89%)
  • Oncology (14.38%)
  • Cancer (12.88%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Albert de la Chapelle focuses on Internal medicine, Oncology, Cancer, Genome-wide association study and Colorectal cancer. His work in the fields of Internal medicine, such as Lynch syndrome, Myeloid leukemia, Cohort and Odds ratio, intersects with other areas such as Mendelian randomization. His Lynch syndrome study introduces a deeper knowledge of DNA mismatch repair.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Germline mutation, Genetic risk, Gene mutation, Penetrance and Leukemia in addition to Oncology. Albert de la Chapelle's looking at Genome-wide association study as part of his Genetics and Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genome-wide association study study. While the research belongs to areas of Colorectal cancer, Albert de la Chapelle spends his time largely on the problem of Epidemiology, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Body mass index.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Prevalence and Spectrum of Germline Cancer Susceptibility Gene Mutations Among Patients With Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer. (244 citations)
  • Discovery of common and rare genetic risk variants for colorectal cancer (131 citations)
  • Cancer Risks for PMS2-Associated Lynch Syndrome (75 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Internal medicine

Internal medicine, Oncology, Genetics, Lynch syndrome and Cancer are his primary areas of study. His Internal medicine research includes elements of CHEK2 and Chromatin. His Oncology research incorporates elements of Myeloid, Colorectal cancer, Leukemia, Family history and Cohort.

Albert de la Chapelle works mostly in the field of Genetics, limiting it down to concerns involving Myeloid leukemia and, occasionally, Susceptibility locus. His research integrates issues of Germline mutation, MSH6 and Microsatellite instability in his study of Lynch syndrome. His research investigates the connection between DNA mismatch repair and topics such as Follicular thyroid cancer that intersect with problems in Cancer research.
