Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Internal medicine

Alexandra Durr mostly deals with Genetics, Ataxia, Spinocerebellar ataxia, Age of onset and Mutation. Many of her studies on Genetics involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Parkin. Her Ataxia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pediatrics and Frataxin.

The concepts of her Spinocerebellar ataxia study are interwoven with issues in Cerebellum, Physical therapy and Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia. Her Age of onset research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cohort study, Cohort and Degenerative disease. Gene mutation is closely connected to Genotype in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Internal medicine.

Her most cited work include:

  • Second consensus statement on the diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (1925 citations)
  • Multicenter Analysis of Glucocerebrosidase Mutations in Parkinson's Disease (1308 citations)
  • Multicenter Analysis of Glucocerebrosidase Mutations in Parkinson's Disease (1308 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Ataxia, Spinocerebellar ataxia, Disease and Huntington's disease. Her study involves Locus, Gene, Mutation, Genetic linkage and Allele, a branch of Genetics. Her Ataxia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Internal medicine, Physical therapy and Pediatrics.

Her Spinocerebellar ataxia research incorporates themes from Age of onset and Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia, Trinucleotide repeat expansion. Her Disease research includes themes of Psychiatry and Bioinformatics. Her Huntington's disease study incorporates themes from White matter, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Cognition, Neuroscience and Atrophy.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (48.02%)
  • Ataxia (22.03%)
  • Spinocerebellar ataxia (21.29%)

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

  • Ataxia (22.03%)
  • Disease (19.09%)
  • Internal medicine (17.03%)

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

Alexandra Durr mainly focuses on Ataxia, Disease, Internal medicine, Huntington's disease and Spinocerebellar ataxia. Her Ataxia research incorporates elements of Movement disorders and Pediatrics. Her studies deal with areas such as Gastroenterology, Trinucleotide repeat expansion, Oncology and Cardiology as well as Internal medicine.

Her Huntington's disease research integrates issues from White matter, Cognition, Neuroscience, Neurodegeneration and Atrophy. Her research on Spinocerebellar ataxia concerns the broader Pathology. Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia is a subfield of Genetics that she explores.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Neurofilament light protein in blood as a potential biomarker of neurodegeneration in Huntington's disease: a retrospective cohort analysis (157 citations)
  • Identification of genetic variants associated with Huntington's disease progression: a genome-wide association study (154 citations)
  • Genetic correlation between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and schizophrenia (78 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Internal medicine

Alexandra Durr focuses on Huntington's disease, Internal medicine, Neuroscience, Spinocerebellar ataxia and Neurodegeneration. Alexandra Durr combines subjects such as Progenitor cell and White matter with her study of Huntington's disease. Her Internal medicine research includes elements of Gastroenterology, Ataxia, Cerebellar ataxia and Oncology.

Cerebellar ataxia is closely attributed to Genetics in her work. The Genetics study combines topics in areas such as Frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Dementia and Frontotemporal dementia. Her Spinocerebellar ataxia study combines topics in areas such as Purkinje cell, Age of onset, Genetic counseling, Genetic variation and NAD+ kinase.
