Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Cancer

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association and Internal medicine. His Genetics research includes elements of Meta-analysis and Obesity. His Genome-wide association study study incorporates themes from SNP, CDKAL1, Polymorphism, Case-control study and Type 2 diabetes.

His research integrates issues of Hyperuricemia and Allele in his study of Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His Genetic association research integrates issues from Imputation, Hemodynamics and Blood pressure. His study in Internal medicine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Viral disease and Endocrinology.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome-wide trans-ancestry meta-analysis provides insight into the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes susceptibility. (744 citations)
  • Variants in KCNQ1 are associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus. (625 citations)
  • Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies eight new loci for type 2 diabetes in east Asians (477 citations)

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

Ken Yamamoto spends much of his time researching Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine and Immunology. His is involved in several facets of Genetics study, as is seen by his studies on Allele, Genetic association, Gene, Polymorphism and Locus. The Single-nucleotide polymorphism study combines topics in areas such as Genotyping and Haplotype.

His work deals with themes such as CDKAL1, Gout, Case-control study, Disease and Type 2 diabetes, which intersect with Genome-wide association study. His studies deal with areas such as Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Oncology and Cardiology as well as Internal medicine. His research investigates the connection between Immunology and topics such as Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis that intersect with problems in Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (35.96%)
  • Single-nucleotide polymorphism (28.57%)
  • Genome-wide association study (27.09%)

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

  • Genome-wide association study (27.09%)
  • Genetics (35.96%)
  • Single-nucleotide polymorphism (28.57%)

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

Ken Yamamoto mainly focuses on Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Gout and Internal medicine. His Genome-wide association study research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Allele, Linkage disequilibrium, Genetic association and Disease. His Allele study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Expression quantitative trait loci, Genotyping and Immunology.

His Genetics research incorporates themes from Body mass index and Natural selection. His work in Single-nucleotide polymorphism addresses issues such as Heritability, which are connected to fields such as Blood pressure and Selective sweep. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Oncology and T-cell receptor.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Genomic Landscape of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Japanese Population (143 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study of clinically defined gout identifies multiple risk loci and its association with clinical subtypes (99 citations)
  • Integrated Multiregional Analysis Proposing a New Model of Colorectal Cancer Evolution. (90 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Gout and Locus are his primary areas of study. His study in Genetics concentrates on Gene, Genotype, Genetic association, CpG site and SNP. His Genome-wide association study research includes elements of Quantitative trait locus, Case-control study and Linkage disequilibrium, Haplotype.

His Single-nucleotide polymorphism study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Epigenetics. He has researched Gout in several fields, including Uric acid, Hyperuricemia and Gene polymorphism. His research investigates the connection with Locus and areas like Allele which intersect with concerns in Expression quantitative trait loci and Meta-analysis.
