Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Gene

Andrew D. Morris mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Genome-wide association study, Type 2 diabetes, Genetics and Diabetes mellitus. Andrew D. Morris has included themes like Endocrinology, Surgery and Oncology in his Internal medicine study. The various areas that Andrew D. Morris examines in his Genome-wide association study study include Bioinformatics, Allele frequency, Medical genetics, Genetic architecture and SLC30A8.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Imputation and Linkage disequilibrium in addition to Genetic architecture. His work deals with themes such as Odds ratio, TCF7L2, Case-control study and Insulin resistance, which intersect with Type 2 diabetes. His Diabetes mellitus research incorporates themes from Young adult, Insulin and Cohort study.

His most cited work include:

  • A common variant in the FTO gene is associated with body mass index and predisposes to childhood and adult obesity (3415 citations)
  • Replication of Genome-Wide Association Signals in UK Samples Reveals Risk Loci for Type 2 Diabetes (1932 citations)
  • Discovery and refinement of loci associated with lipid levels (1814 citations)

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

Internal medicine, Diabetes mellitus, Type 2 diabetes, Endocrinology and Genetics are his primary areas of study. His Internal medicine study often links to related topics such as Cardiology. His Diabetes mellitus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Surgery, Cohort study and Cohort.

His Type 2 diabetes study combines topics in areas such as Body mass index, Obesity and Epidemiology. His works in Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Allele, Quantitative trait locus and Exome sequencing are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. His Genome-wide association study study incorporates themes from Medical genetics, Genetic association, Imputation, Minor allele frequency and Genetic architecture.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (41.94%)
  • Diabetes mellitus (36.49%)
  • Type 2 diabetes (27.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Genetics (17.74%)
  • Genome-wide association study (15.73%)
  • Internal medicine (41.94%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine, Type 2 diabetes and Blood pressure. His work in Genetics addresses issues such as Coding, which are connected to fields such as Coding region, Context, Inference and Identification. The Genome-wide association study study combines topics in areas such as Medical genetics, Genetic association, Imputation, Minor allele frequency and Genetic architecture.

His research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Cardiology. His Diabetes mellitus research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Penetrance, Cohort study and Cohort. The concepts of his Blood pressure study are interwoven with issues in Genetic analysis, Bioinformatics, Disease, Locus and Kidney.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes (674 citations)
  • The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes (674 citations)
  • Fine-mapping type 2 diabetes loci to single-variant resolution using high-density imputation and islet-specific epigenome maps. (503 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Diabetes mellitus

His main research concerns Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Imputation, Genetic association and Genetic architecture. His study with Genome-wide association study involves better knowledge in Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research includes elements of Diabetes mellitus, Type 2 diabetes and Internal medicine.

His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Maturity onset diabetes of the young and Oncology. His work on Exome and Gene as part of general Genetics study is frequently linked to Low frequency and CpG site, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Genetic architecture research focuses on subjects like Computational biology, which are linked to Linkage disequilibrium and Human genetics.
