Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Internal medicine, Genome-wide association study, Endocrinology, Genetics and Body mass index are her primary areas of study. Her Internal medicine research incorporates themes from Allele and Cardiology. Her work carried out in the field of Genome-wide association study brings together such families of science as Blood pressure, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture, Genotyping and Kidney.

As part of the same scientific family, Meena Kumari usually focuses on Endocrinology, concentrating on Bedtime and intersecting with Cortisol secretion, Dyssomnia, Cortisol awakening response and Smoking cessation. Genetics is frequently linked to Type 2 diabetes in her study. In her research, Minor allele frequency, Childhood obesity and Alpha-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenase FTO is intimately related to FTO gene, which falls under the overarching field of Body mass index.

Her most cited work include:

  • Discovery and refinement of loci associated with lipid levels (1941 citations)
  • A genome-wide association search for type 2 diabetes genes in African Americans. (1770 citations)
  • New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk (1757 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Genetics, Genome-wide association study and Gerontology. Meena Kumari has included themes like Diabetes mellitus and Type 2 diabetes in her Internal medicine study. Her Genome-wide association study study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quantitative trait locus, Genetic association, Bioinformatics and Medical genetics.

Her research in Gerontology intersects with topics in Socioeconomic status, Demography and Risk factor. Her Single-nucleotide polymorphism research includes elements of Allele and Polymorphism. Her study in Body mass index is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Obesity and C-reactive protein.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (39.75%)
  • Endocrinology (22.98%)
  • Genetics (21.12%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Genetics (21.12%)
  • Genome-wide association study (21.95%)
  • Demography (17.39%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Demography, Internal medicine and Genetic association. To a larger extent, she studies Single-nucleotide polymorphism with the aim of understanding Genome-wide association study. The various areas that Meena Kumari examines in her Demography study include Body mass index, Longitudinal study, Weight gain and Obesity.

Her studies in Body mass index integrate themes in fields like Gerontology and C-reactive protein. The Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as Endocrinology, Mendelian randomization and Cardiology. Her Genetic association study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetic risk, Bioinformatics and Genomics.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Genome-wide association analyses of risk tolerance and risky behaviors in over 1 million individuals identify hundreds of loci and shared genetic influences (257 citations)
  • Genome-wide physical activity interactions in adiposity. A meta-analysis of 200,452 adults (228 citations)
  • Impact of common genetic determinants of Hemoglobin A1c on type 2 diabetes risk and diagnosis in ancestrally diverse populations: A transethnic genome-wide meta-analysis (222 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Diabetes mellitus

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genome-wide association study, Genetic association, Genetics, Demography and Internal medicine. Her work deals with themes such as Genetic risk, European descent, Quantitative trait locus, Blood lipids and Locus, which intersect with Genome-wide association study. Her Genetic association research incorporates elements of DNA methylation, Data mining, Bioinformatics and Medical genetics.

The concepts of her Demography study are interwoven with issues in Body mass index, Loneliness, Life course approach and Gerontology. Meena Kumari combines subjects such as Endocrinology, Mendelian randomization and Cardiology with her study of Internal medicine. Her studies examine the connections between Cardiology and genetics, as well as such issues in Stroke, with regards to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Risk factor.
