Overview

Anders Oldfors is affiliated with the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and has a substantial publication record spanning multiple disciplines centered around medicine and molecular biology. Their research explores various facets of muscle physiology, mitochondrial function, genetic disorders, and inflammatory myopathies. The scientist's work is grounded in areas including molecular biology, genetics, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, rheumatology, and neurology.

The scientist's research interests and publications address topics such as:

  • Muscle Physiology and Disorders
  • Mitochondrial Function and Pathology
  • Glycogen Storage Diseases and Myoclonus
  • Inflammatory Myopathies and Dermatomyositis
  • Genetic Neurodegenerative Diseases
  • Cardiomyopathy and Myosin Studies
  • Metabolism and Genetic Disorders

Notable recent papers include:

  • "Accurate mapping of mitochondrial DNA deletions and duplications using deep sequencing" (2020, PLoS Genetics)
  • "272nd ENMC international workshop: 10 Years of progress - revision of the ENMC 2013 diagnostic criteria for inclusion body myositis and clinical trial readiness. 16-18 June 2023, Hoofddorp, The Netherlands" (2024, Neuromuscular Disorders)
  • "Pathogenic Variants in the Myosin Chaperone UNC-45B Cause Progressive Myopathy with Eccentric Cores" (2020, The American Journal of Human Genetics)
  • "Genotype-phenotype correlations in valosin-containing protein disease: a retrospective muticentre study" (2022, Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry)
  • "Epidemiology, Survival, and Clinical Characteristics of Inclusion Body Myositis" (2022, Annals of Neurology)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Anders Oldfors include:
