Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Cancer

Her primary scientific interests are in Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Internal medicine, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genetic association. Her Genome-wide association study research integrates issues from Pleiotropy, Bioinformatics, Immunology, Pulmonary function testing and Molecular genetics. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Body mass index and Obesity.

Her Body mass index research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vitamin D and neurology, vitamin D deficiency, SH2B1 and Glucose homeostasis. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Endocrinology and SLC2A9. In her work, Human height, Heritability and Cohort is strongly intertwined with Polymorphism, which is a subfield of Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

Her most cited work include:

  • Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index (2348 citations)
  • Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height (1614 citations)
  • Meta-analysis identifies 13 new loci associated with waist-hip ratio and reveals sexual dimorphism in the genetic basis of fat distribution (747 citations)

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

Lina Zgaga mostly deals with Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Internal medicine, Vitamin D and neurology and Genetic association. Her work deals with themes such as Bioinformatics, Meta-analysis, Allele, Computational biology and Candidate gene, which intersect with Genome-wide association study. Her works in Single-nucleotide polymorphism, SNP, Locus, Gene and Genetic variation are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics.

Her study in Internal medicine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Oncology. Her Vitamin D and neurology study combines topics in areas such as Case-control study, Confounding and Hazard ratio. Her vitamin D deficiency research integrates issues from Body mass index and Risk factor.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genome-wide association study (67.96%)
  • Genetics (62.14%)
  • Internal medicine (37.86%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (37.86%)
  • Vitamin D and neurology (35.44%)
  • Colorectal cancer (13.59%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Vitamin D and neurology, Colorectal cancer, Oncology and Cohort. Her studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Gastroenterology and Biobank. Lina Zgaga interconnects Area under the curve, Genome-wide association study, Case-control study, Genetic association and Genetic variation in the investigation of issues within Colorectal cancer.

Many of her studies on Genome-wide association study apply to Genetic architecture as well. Her Oncology study incorporates themes from Vitamin d supplementation and Genotype, Gene, Locus. Within the field of Genetics and Single-nucleotide polymorphism Lina Zgaga studies Imputation.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Genome-wide Association Study in 79,366 European-ancestry Individuals Informs the Genetic Architecture of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels (142 citations)
  • Association analyses identify 31 new risk loci for colorectal cancer susceptibility (49 citations)
  • Association analyses identify 31 new risk loci for colorectal cancer susceptibility (49 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Cancer

Lina Zgaga mainly investigates Vitamin D and neurology, Internal medicine, Genome-wide association study, Colorectal cancer and Case-control study. Her Vitamin D and neurology research incorporates elements of Biobank, Mendelian Randomization Analysis, Oncology and Cohort. Her Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gastroenterology and Systematic review.

Lina Zgaga is investigating Genome-wide association study as part of her Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Genetics and Genome-wide association study study. The various areas that Lina Zgaga examines in her Genetics study include Steroid hormone and Disease. Her research integrates issues of Calcitriol receptor, Perioperative, Survival analysis and Area under the curve in her study of Colorectal cancer.
