Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Eranga N. Vithana spends much of his time researching Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Polymorphism, Glaucoma and Odds ratio. His work blends Genetics and Chromatin immunoprecipitation studies together. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including SNP, Enhancer RNAs and Candidate gene.

His Polymorphism course of study focuses on Case-control study and Macular degeneration, Primary angle-closure glaucoma, Susceptibility locus, Age related and Cohort study. His Odds ratio research integrates issues from Keratoconus and Exome. His study on Haplotype is often connected to CpG site as part of broader study in Genotype.

His most cited work include:

  • Seven new loci associated with age-related macular degeneration (584 citations)
  • Seven new loci associated with age-related macular degeneration (584 citations)
  • Genome-wide meta-analyses of multiancestry cohorts identify multiple new susceptibility loci for refractive error and myopia (296 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Ophthalmology, Glaucoma and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. Genetics is frequently linked to Molecular biology in his study. Eranga N. Vithana has researched Genome-wide association study in several fields, including Odds ratio, SNP, Polymorphism, Case-control study and Genetic association.

His research in Polymorphism intersects with topics in Minor allele frequency and Bioinformatics. His Glaucoma research incorporates elements of Intraocular pressure and Cornea. The study incorporates disciplines such as Internal medicine and Genotyping in addition to Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (57.61%)
  • Genome-wide association study (34.78%)
  • Ophthalmology (24.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Glaucoma (22.83%)
  • Ophthalmology (24.46%)
  • Genome-wide association study (34.78%)

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

Eranga N. Vithana focuses on Glaucoma, Ophthalmology, Genome-wide association study, Genetics and Primary angle-closure glaucoma. Eranga N. Vithana has included themes like Odds ratio and Internal medicine in his Glaucoma study. His work on Retinal as part of his general Ophthalmology study is frequently connected to Closure, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Genome-wide association study study incorporates themes from Disease, Genetic association and Candidate gene. His work focuses on many connections between Genetic association and other disciplines, such as Polymorphism, that overlap with his field of interest in Candidate Disease Gene, Case-control study and Genetic architecture. His research links Cell biology with Genetics.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • New insights into the genetics of primary open-angle glaucoma based on meta-analyses of intraocular pressure and optic disc characteristics (80 citations)
  • Genetic association study of exfoliation syndrome identifies a protective rare variant at LOXL1 and five new susceptibility loci (55 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study identifies seven novel susceptibility loci for primary open-angle glaucoma (47 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Glaucoma, Candidate gene and Intraocular pressure. His work carried out in the field of Genome-wide association study brings together such families of science as Odds ratio and Disease. Eranga N. Vithana studies Genetics, focusing on Genetic association in particular.

The concepts of his Genetic association study are interwoven with issues in Candidate Disease Gene, Case-control study, Polymorphism and Genetic architecture. His Candidate gene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Quantitative trait locus, Corneal Diseases, Keratoconus and Mendelian Randomization Analysis. His Intraocular pressure research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genetic variation, Optic disk and Bioinformatics.
