Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Gene and Locus are her primary areas of study. Her Genetics study typically links adjacent topics like Disease. Her Genome-wide association study research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Odds ratio, Internal medicine, Meta-analysis, Body mass index and Genetic association.

Her work in the fields of Single-nucleotide polymorphism, such as SNP, intersects with other areas such as EIF2AK3. In Locus, Dena G. Hernandez works on issues like Molecular biology, which are connected to Liver function, Mutant, Ataxia and Spinocerebellar ataxia. Her studies deal with areas such as C9orf72 Protein, C9orf72, Trinucleotide repeat expansion and TARDBP as well as Haplotype.

Her most cited work include:

  • A hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the cause of chromosome 9p21-linked ALS-FTD (3018 citations)
  • A hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the cause of chromosome 9p21-linked ALS-FTD (3018 citations)
  • Discovery and refinement of loci associated with lipid levels (1941 citations)

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

Dena G. Hernandez spends much of her time researching Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Disease and Internal medicine. Her study in Genetics focuses on Locus, Gene, Genetic variation, Allele and Haplotype. Her Genome-wide association study research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Odds ratio, Meta-analysis, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic association and Heritability.

Her Single-nucleotide polymorphism study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genotyping and Case-control study. Her Disease study combines topics in areas such as Genetic correlation and Bioinformatics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Endocrinology, Methylation and Oncology in addition to Internal medicine.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (77.71%)
  • Genome-wide association study (63.43%)
  • Single-nucleotide polymorphism (29.71%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Disease (30.00%)
  • Genome-wide association study (63.43%)
  • Genetics (77.71%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Disease, Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Internal medicine and Parkinson's disease. Dena G. Hernandez has researched Disease in several fields, including Gene and Genetic architecture. Her Genome-wide association study research includes elements of Mendelian randomization, Genetic variability, Genetic association, Heritability and Genetic variation.

Her research on Genetics often connects related topics like Alpha-synuclein. Her research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Methylation and Oncology. Her Parkinson's disease research incorporates elements of Glucocerebrosidase, Heterozygote advantage, Genotyping and Clinical trial.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Identification of novel risk loci, causal insights, and heritable risk for Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (489 citations)
  • Genome-wide Analyses Identify KIF5A as a Novel ALS Gene. (251 citations)
  • A DNA methylation biomarker of alcohol consumption. (168 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Mutation

Dena G. Hernandez focuses on Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Disease, Internal medicine and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. The concepts of her Genome-wide association study study are interwoven with issues in Genetic variation, Locus and Medical genetics. Her Genetics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Meta-analysis and Parkinson's disease.

Her study looks at the relationship between Disease and topics such as Allele, which overlap with Loss function, Haploinsufficiency, Case-control study and Immunology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Oncology and DNA methylation in addition to Internal medicine. Missense mutation, Genetic analysis, Phenotype, Hereditary spastic paraplegia and Genetic heterogeneity is closely connected to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in her research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Single-nucleotide polymorphism.
