Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Leena Peltonen mostly deals with Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genetic association. Her study in Locus, Allele, Linkage disequilibrium, Haplotype and Gene falls under the purview of Genetics. The concepts of her Genome-wide association study study are interwoven with issues in Odds ratio, Bipolar disorder, Coronary artery disease and Quantitative trait locus.

Her studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Immunology, Endocrinology and Oncology. Her Single-nucleotide polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lung cancer, Autism, Copy-number variation and Genetic architecture. Her Genetic association research integrates issues from Penetrance, Psychosis and Genetic linkage.

Her most cited work include:

  • A global reference for human genetic variation. (7825 citations)
  • New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk (1707 citations)
  • Positionally Cloned Gene for a Novel Glomerular Protein—Nephrin—Is Mutated in Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome (1579 citations)

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

Leena Peltonen mainly investigates Genetics, Gene, Locus, Internal medicine and Genome-wide association study. Her study in Allele, Haplotype, Genetic linkage, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Linkage disequilibrium are all subfields of Genetics. Her study looks at the intersection of Gene and topics like Molecular biology with Mutation.

Her Locus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genetic marker and Gene mapping. Her Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Endocrinology and Cardiology. Her work carried out in the field of Genome-wide association study brings together such families of science as Bipolar disorder and Genetic association.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (51.83%)
  • Gene (16.06%)
  • Locus (15.42%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Genetics (51.83%)
  • Genome-wide association study (19.08%)
  • Dissolution (7.15%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Dissolution, Nanotechnology and Internal medicine. As a part of the same scientific study, Leena Peltonen usually deals with the Genetics, concentrating on Bipolar disorder and frequently concerns with Psychosis. Her study in Genome-wide association study is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Quantitative trait locus, Schizophrenia and Genetic association.

Leena Peltonen interconnects Case-control study and Genetic architecture in the investigation of issues within Genetic association. Her research integrates issues of Amorphous solid, Nanocrystal, Particle size, Dissolution testing and Solubility in her study of Dissolution. Her Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Endocrinology and Cardiology.

Between 2010 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A global reference for human genetic variation. (7825 citations)
  • Plasma HDL cholesterol and risk of myocardial infarction: A mendelian randomisation study (1555 citations)
  • Plasma HDL cholesterol and risk of myocardial infarction: A mendelian randomisation study (1555 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • DNA

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine, Nanotechnology and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. Her study in Autism extends to Genetics with its themes. Leena Peltonen has included themes like Genetic association, Locus, DiGeorge syndrome, Genetic variation and Type 2 diabetes in her Genome-wide association study study.

Leena Peltonen has researched Genetic association in several fields, including Genomics, Genetic variability, Computational biology and 1000 Genomes Project. Leena Peltonen combines subjects such as Endocrinology and Cardiology with her study of Internal medicine. The various areas that she examines in her Single-nucleotide polymorphism study include Case-control study, Allele and Genetic architecture.
