Fernando Ferreira Costa focuses on Immunology, Genetics, Sickle cell anemia, Internal medicine and Cell.
His research in Immunology intersects with topics in Endothelium and Polymerase chain reaction.
His Genetics study is mostly concerned with Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Expressed sequence tag, Human genome, Haplotype and Gene.
The Sickle cell anemia study combines topics in areas such as Hemolytic anemia, Hemoglobinopathy, Genotype and Peripheral blood mononuclear cell.
His research integrates issues of Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Surgery in his study of Internal medicine.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cell, Tumor necrosis factor alpha and In vivo is strongly linked to Nitric oxide.
His most cited work include:
- The genome sequence of the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa (771 citations)
- DNA polymorphisms at the BCL11A, HBS1L-MYB, and β-globin loci associate with fetal hemoglobin levels and pain crises in sickle cell disease (412 citations)
- The mutation Ala677-->Val in the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase gene: a risk factor for arterial disease and venous thrombosis. (272 citations)
