What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Kirk C. Wilhelmsen mainly investigates Genetics, Genetic linkage, Parkinsonism, Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 and Dementia.
His work in Genetics addresses issues such as Dystonia, which are connected to fields such as Idiopathic Torsion Dystonia.
Kirk C. Wilhelmsen interconnects Microsatellite, Chromosome and Pathology in the investigation of issues within Genetic linkage.
His Pathology study deals with Genetic heterogeneity intersecting with Spinal muscular atrophies, SMA*, Spinal muscular atrophy and Chromosomal region.
As a part of the same scientific study, Kirk C. Wilhelmsen usually deals with the Parkinsonism, concentrating on Tau protein and frequently concerns with Microtubule, Alternative splicing and Neurodegeneration.
The Dementia study combines topics in areas such as Amyotrophy and Neuroscience.
His most cited work include:
- Mutation-Specific Functional Impairments in Distinct Tau Isoforms of Hereditary FTDP-17 (802 citations)
- Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17: A consensus conference (551 citations)
- Genetic mapping of chronic childhood-onset spinal muscular atrophy to chromosome 5q1 1.2–13.3 (456 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Kirk C. Wilhelmsen focuses on Genetics, Genetic linkage, Disease, Genome-wide association study and Locus.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Genetics, Alcohol dependence are connected with Psychiatry and Heritability and other disciplines.
Kirk C. Wilhelmsen has researched Genetic linkage in several fields, including Substance dependence, Pathology, Microsatellite, Chromosome and Linkage.
His Disease study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biomarker, Computational biology and Pathogenesis.
His Locus research includes elements of Parkinsonism and Gene mapping.
His studies in Parkinsonism integrate themes in fields like Amyotrophy and Chromosome 17.
He most often published in these fields:
- Genetics (45.75%)
- Genetic linkage (21.23%)
- Disease (15.09%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Genome-wide association study (15.09%)
- Genetics (45.75%)
- Exome sequencing (8.96%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Kirk C. Wilhelmsen mostly deals with Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Exome sequencing, Gene and Bioinformatics.
His research in Genome-wide association study intersects with topics in Cardiology, Allele frequency, Quantitative trait locus, Internal medicine and Genetic association.
In his research on the topic of Genetics, Heritability and Allele is strongly related with Meta-analysis.
His Exome sequencing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Computational biology, Disease and Candidate gene.
His work on Phenotype, Whole genome sequencing and Missense mutation as part of general Gene research is frequently linked to EBI3, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His Bioinformatics study combines topics in areas such as Causative gene, Disease gene, Medical record and Myopathy.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3, and TREM2 implicate microglial-mediated innate immunity in Alzheimer's disease (429 citations)
- Dissecting the Causal Mechanism of X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism by Integrating Genome and Transcriptome Assembly (82 citations)
- Prenatal exome sequencing in anomalous fetuses: new opportunities and challenges. (81 citations)
