Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Internal medicine

Mariz Vainzof spends much of his time researching Muscular dystrophy, Genetics, Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, Sarcoglycanopathies and Dystrophin. His Muscular dystrophy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Endocrinology and Pathology. His work in Mutation, Dysferlin, Gene and Myopathy are all subfields of Genetics research.

His studies in Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy integrate themes in fields like Missense mutation, Sarcospan, Genetic linkage, Locus and Gene mapping. His work is dedicated to discovering how Sarcoglycanopathies, Dystroglycan are connected with Syntrophin and Linkage and other disciplines. His research in Dystrophin intersects with topics in Molecular biology and Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Autosomal recessive limbgirdle muscular dystrophy, LGMD2F, is caused by a mutation in the δ–sarcoglycan gene (393 citations)
  • Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2G is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the sarcomeric protein telethonin. (273 citations)
  • Caveolin-3 in Muscular Dystrophy (195 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Genetics, Muscular dystrophy, Dystrophin, Pathology and Internal medicine. His study in Gene, Mutation, Genetic linkage, Phenotype and Locus is carried out as part of his Genetics studies. His Muscular dystrophy research incorporates elements of Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and Mesenchymal stem cell, Cell biology.

The Dystrophin study which covers Dysferlin that intersects with Telethonin. His work deals with themes such as Congenital muscular dystrophy and Muscle weakness, which intersect with Pathology. Cortex and Prefrontal cortex is closely connected to Endocrinology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (33.83%)
  • Muscular dystrophy (30.11%)
  • Dystrophin (25.28%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Genetics (33.83%)
  • Pathology (19.70%)
  • Gene (16.36%)

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

Mariz Vainzof mainly investigates Genetics, Pathology, Gene, Phenotype and Internal medicine. His Pathology research includes themes of Adipose tissue and Muscular dystrophy, Dystrophin. His Muscular dystrophy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Muscle contracture, Surgery, Anatomy and Skeletal muscle.

Mariz Vainzof interconnects Cardiomyopathy and Myocardial fibrosis in the investigation of issues within Dystrophin. His Internal medicine research incorporates elements of Endocrinology and Cardiology. His Locus course of study focuses on Myotilin and Zebrafish and Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Approach to the diagnosis of congenital myopathies (155 citations)
  • A defect in the RNA-processing protein HNRPDL causes limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 1G (LGMD1G) (72 citations)
  • Myocardial Fibrosis Progression in Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy: A Randomized Clinical Trial. (50 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Mutation
  • Internal medicine

Mariz Vainzof mostly deals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Gene, Genetics, Pathology and Stem cell. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cerebral cortex, Isocitrate dehydrogenase, Cortex and Synaptophysin. His Genetics research is mostly focused on the topic Myopathy.

His research on Myopathy also deals with topics like

  • Myotilin that intertwine with fields like Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy,
  • Muscle weakness together with Muscle biopsy and Phenotype. His Pathology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Muscle dystrophy, Dystrophin and Transverse Relaxation Time. His Dystrophin study is focused on Muscular dystrophy in general.
