Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Her primary areas of investigation include Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. Her Genome-wide association study research includes themes of Quantitative trait locus, Disease, Allele, Genetic association and Locus. The Genetics study combines topics in areas such as Body mass index and Obesity.

Her Body mass index research integrates issues from Birth weight, Demography, SH2B1 and Glucose homeostasis. Her study ties her expertise on Diabetes mellitus together with the subject of Internal medicine. In her research on the topic of Type 2 diabetes, Genotyping is strongly related with Cholesterol.

Her most cited work include:

  • A common variant in the FTO gene is associated with body mass index and predisposes to childhood and adult obesity (3507 citations)
  • A common variant in the FTO gene is associated with body mass index and predisposes to childhood and adult obesity (3507 citations)
  • Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids (2887 citations)

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

Marjo-Riitta Järvelin mostly deals with Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Internal medicine, Body mass index and Cohort study. In her study, Bioinformatics is strongly linked to Genetic association, which falls under the umbrella field of Genome-wide association study. Her work deals with themes such as Meta-analysis and Disease, which intersect with Genetics.

Her Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology, Type 2 diabetes and Oncology. Her Body mass index research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Birth weight, Obesity and Polycystic ovary. The concepts of her Cohort study study are interwoven with issues in Odds ratio, Pregnancy, Demography, Pediatrics and Cohort.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Genome-wide association study (40.52%)
  • Genetics (34.27%)
  • Internal medicine (33.36%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2022)?

  • Genome-wide association study (40.52%)
  • Internal medicine (33.36%)
  • Body mass index (25.67%)

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

Marjo-Riitta Järvelin spends much of her time researching Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine, Body mass index, Demography and Pregnancy. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic association, Locus and Genetic architecture. She has included themes like Endocrinology, Type 2 diabetes, Oncology and DNA methylation in her Internal medicine study.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Obesity, Polycystic ovary and Risk factor in addition to Body mass index. Her research in Demography focuses on subjects like Young adult, which are connected to Cohort study and Pediatrics. Her research in Pregnancy intersects with topics in Physiology and Obstetrics.

Between 2017 and 2022, her most popular works were:

  • Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits. (348 citations)
  • Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks (232 citations)
  • Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks (232 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Disease

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine, Pregnancy, DNA methylation and Body mass index. Genome-wide association study is a subfield of Genetics that she studies. The various areas that she examines in her Internal medicine study include Diabetes mellitus, Endocrinology and Oncology.

Her Pregnancy research includes elements of Physiology and Obstetrics. Marjo-Riitta Järvelin combines subjects such as Methylation and Epigenetics with her study of DNA methylation. Her studies in Body mass index integrate themes in fields like Weight gain, Demography and Obesity.
