Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Her primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Alzheimer's disease, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Disease. Her study in Alcohol dependence extends to Genetics with its themes. Her Alzheimer's disease study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Apolipoprotein E, Dementia and Case-control study.

Her Genome-wide association study study combines topics in areas such as Late onset, Linkage disequilibrium, Minor allele frequency, Allele frequency and Cognitive decline. Her Single-nucleotide polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nicotine, Haplotype and Candidate gene. The concepts of her Disease study are interwoven with issues in Biomarker, Neuroscience, Gerontology and Bioinformatics.

Her most cited work include:

  • Segregation of a missense mutation in the amyloid precursor protein gene with familial Alzheimer's disease. (4020 citations)
  • Association of missense and 5′-splice-site mutations in tau with the inherited dementia FTDP-17 (2918 citations)
  • Meta-analysis of 74,046 individuals identifies 11 new susceptibility loci for Alzheimer's disease (2822 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Genetics, Disease, Alzheimer's disease, Genome-wide association study and Gene. Her study looks at the relationship between Genetics and fields such as Alcohol dependence, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Her Disease research incorporates elements of Biomarker, Neuroscience, Immunology and Bioinformatics.

Her Alzheimer's disease research includes themes of Apolipoprotein E and Dementia. Alison Goate usually deals with Locus and limits it to topics linked to Genetic linkage and Linkage. Alison Goate has included themes like Haplotype and Candidate gene in her Single-nucleotide polymorphism study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (49.50%)
  • Disease (27.92%)
  • Alzheimer's disease (21.47%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Disease (27.92%)
  • Genome-wide association study (18.80%)
  • Genetics (49.50%)

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

Alison Goate focuses on Disease, Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Gene and Internal medicine. Her Disease research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cognition and Computational biology. Her work deals with themes such as Alcohol dependence, Genetic association, Locus and Alcohol use disorder, which intersect with Genome-wide association study.

Her Genetics study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Meta-analysis. Her Gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Innate immune system and Microglia. The Alzheimer's disease study combines topics in areas such as Neuroscience and Neurodegeneration.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Serum neurofilament dynamics predicts neurodegeneration and clinical progression in presymptomatic Alzheimer’s disease (300 citations)
  • Whole exome sequencing study identifies novel rare and common Alzheimer's-Associated variants involved in immune response and transcriptional regulation (111 citations)
  • A soluble phosphorylated tau signature links tau, amyloid and the evolution of stages of dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease. (110 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Her main research concerns Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Disease, Gene and Internal medicine. Her Genome-wide association study research includes elements of Gene expression profiling, Transcriptome, Genetic association, Locus and Genetic architecture. Her study connects Meta-analysis and Genetics.

Amyloid and Tau protein is closely connected to Atrophy in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Disease. Her work on Alzheimer's disease as part of general Internal medicine research is frequently linked to African descent, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Her Clinical Dementia Rating study in the realm of Alzheimer's disease connects with subjects such as Dysdiadochokinesia.
