Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genome-wide association study, Haplotype and Allele are his primary areas of study. Jeffrey R. Gulcher studies Allele frequency which is a part of Genetics. His work carried out in the field of Single-nucleotide polymorphism brings together such families of science as Eye pigmentation, Pseudoexfoliation syndrome and Polymorphism.

The study incorporates disciplines such as SNP, Genetic variation and Genetic association in addition to Genome-wide association study. The concepts of his Haplotype study are interwoven with issues in MSMB, Pathogenesis, Locus, Exon and Prostate cancer. His Allele research includes themes of Incidence, Disease cluster, Population variation, Sequence and Human height.

His most cited work include:

  • Variant of transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene confers risk of type 2 diabetes. (1823 citations)
  • A high-resolution recombination map of the human genome (1542 citations)
  • Large recurrent microdeletions associated with schizophrenia (1516 citations)

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

Jeffrey R. Gulcher focuses on Genetics, Internal medicine, Locus, Gene and Genome-wide association study. Genetics is represented through his Allele, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic linkage, Haplotype and Allele frequency research. His studies deal with areas such as Endocrinology and Cardiology as well as Internal medicine.

His Locus research focuses on Microsatellite and how it relates to Genome. His Gene research includes elements of Receptor, Nucleic acid and Immunology. The Genome-wide association study study combines topics in areas such as Cancer, Prostate cancer, Genetic variation and Sequence.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (48.82%)
  • Internal medicine (30.00%)
  • Locus (18.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2017)?

  • Genome-wide association study (16.47%)
  • Genetics (48.82%)
  • Internal medicine (30.00%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Internal medicine, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Allele. Jeffrey R. Gulcher combines subjects such as Cancer, Breast cancer, Polymorphism, Allele frequency and Genetic variation with his study of Genome-wide association study. His Locus, Prostate cancer and Gene study in the realm of Genetics connects with subjects such as Transmembrane transporter activity.

His research investigates the link between Locus and topics such as Case-control study that cross with problems in Genotyping, CYP17A1 and Candidate gene. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endocrinology, Bioinformatics and Cardiology. Jeffrey R. Gulcher specializes in Single-nucleotide polymorphism, namely SNP.

Between 2008 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Large-scale association analysis identifies 13 new susceptibility loci for coronary artery disease (1452 citations)
  • Common variants conferring risk of schizophrenia (1378 citations)
  • Genome-wide association yields new sequence variants at seven loci that associate with measures of obesity (1117 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, SNP and Locus. His research integrates issues of Bone mineral, Bone density, Mineralogy and Polymorphism in his study of Genome-wide association study. Genetics is frequently linked to Lung cancer in his study.

His Lung cancer research focuses on subjects like Genetic analysis, which are linked to Odds ratio. His Locus study incorporates themes from Endocrinology and Allele. His studies in Allele integrate themes in fields like Internal medicine, Case-control study, Genotyping and Thyroid cancer.
