Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Genetics

Her main research concerns Breast cancer, Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine and Genotype. The concepts of her Breast cancer study are interwoven with issues in TOX3, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genetic predisposition. In her study, Genomic imprinting and Genetic architecture is inextricably linked to Menarche, which falls within the broad field of Genetics.

Her Genome-wide association study study combines topics in areas such as Bioinformatics, Quantitative trait locus, Locus, 1000 Genomes Project and Candidate gene. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Endocrinology and Oncology. Her Genotype research incorporates themes from Immunology and Allele.

Her most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide association study identifies novel breast cancer susceptibility loci (2077 citations)
  • Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk (866 citations)
  • Subtyping of breast cancer by immunohistochemistry to investigate a relationship between subtype and short and long term survival: a collaborative analysis of data for 10,159 cases from 12 studies (836 citations)

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

Alison M. Dunning spends much of her time researching Breast cancer, Internal medicine, Oncology, Genetics and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. Her Breast cancer study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genome-wide association study, Case-control study, Genetic predisposition and Genotype. Her work in Genome-wide association study addresses issues such as Genetic association, which are connected to fields such as Genetic variation.

Internal medicine and Endocrinology are commonly linked in her work. Her research integrates issues of Ovarian cancer, Radiation therapy, Toxicity and Pathology in her study of Oncology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cancer research, Endometrial cancer and Candidate gene in addition to Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Breast cancer (56.49%)
  • Internal medicine (49.70%)
  • Oncology (41.32%)

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

  • Breast cancer (56.49%)
  • Internal medicine (49.70%)
  • Oncology (41.32%)

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

Breast cancer, Internal medicine, Oncology, Genome-wide association study and Cancer are her primary areas of study. Alison M. Dunning is involved in the study of Breast cancer that focuses on Estrogen receptor in particular. Her research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Internal medicine.

Her study in Oncology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Body mass index, Germline mutation, Cohort study, Prospective cohort study and Radiation therapy. Genome-wide association study is a subfield of Genetics that Alison M. Dunning tackles. Her Cancer research integrates issues from Relative risk, Lung cancer and Risk factor.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Polygenic Risk Scores for Prediction of Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Subtypes (335 citations)
  • Cancer Risks Associated With Germline PALB2 Pathogenic Variants: An International Study of 524 Families (100 citations)
  • Breast cancer risk genes - Association analysis in more than 113,000 women (76 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • DNA

Alison M. Dunning mostly deals with Breast cancer, Internal medicine, Genome-wide association study, Oncology and Odds ratio. To a larger extent, she studies Cancer with the aim of understanding Breast cancer. A significant part of her Genome-wide association study research incorporates Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genetics studies.

Her Oncology study incorporates themes from Germline mutation, PALB2, Primary tumor, Prostate cancer and Confounding. The Odds ratio study combines topics in areas such as Mendelian Randomization Analysis, Mendelian randomization, Epidemiology and Case-control study. The concepts of her Case-control study study are interwoven with issues in SNP, Polygenic risk score and Genotype.
