Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genome-wide association study, Cancer and Genetic association. His study explores the link between Genetics and topics such as Internal medicine that cross with problems in Endocrinology. The various areas that Meredith Yeager examines in his Single-nucleotide polymorphism study include Genotyping, Case-control study, Haplotype and Candidate gene.

His Genome-wide association study study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genome, Allele, Oncology and Bioinformatics. Meredith Yeager interconnects TOX3 and Polymorphism in the investigation of issues within Cancer. His studies deal with areas such as Human Phenotype Ontology, Genetic predisposition, Allele frequency and Medical genetics as well as Genetic association.

His most cited work include:

  • A genome-wide association study identifies alleles in FGFR2 associated with risk of sporadic postmenopausal breast cancer (1364 citations)
  • A genome-wide association study identifies alleles in FGFR2 associated with risk of sporadic postmenopausal breast cancer (1364 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study of prostate cancer identifies a second risk locus at 8q24 (1029 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Internal medicine, Genome-wide association study and Oncology. Genetic association, Gene, Locus, Linkage disequilibrium and Genetic variation are among the areas of Genetics where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His study in Single-nucleotide polymorphism is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Odds ratio, Prostate cancer and Haplotype.

His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. His Genome-wide association study research incorporates themes from Genetic predisposition, International HapMap Project, Genotyping, Allele and 1000 Genomes Project. His work carried out in the field of Cancer brings together such families of science as Cancer research and Disease.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (69.64%)
  • Single-nucleotide polymorphism (64.14%)
  • Internal medicine (42.31%)

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

  • Oncology (30.74%)
  • Internal medicine (42.31%)
  • Genome-wide association study (38.90%)

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

Meredith Yeager mostly deals with Oncology, Internal medicine, Genome-wide association study, Cancer and Genetics. His Oncology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Germline mutation, Proportional hazards model, MEDLINE and Lymphoblastic Leukemia. His Genome-wide association study study deals with the bigger picture of Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

He has included themes like Genetic architecture, Genome and Hazard ratio in his Single-nucleotide polymorphism study. His research in Cancer intersects with topics in Y chromosome, Chromosome, Demography and Disease. Gene is the focus of his Genetics research.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Predictors of mosaic chromosome Y loss and associations with mortality in the UK Biobank. (45 citations)
  • Frequency of Pathogenic Germline Variants in Cancer-Susceptibility Genes in Patients With Osteosarcoma. (29 citations)
  • The Intersection of HPV Epidemiology, Genomics and Mechanistic Studies of HPV-Mediated Carcinogenesis (27 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Cancer
  • Mutation

Meredith Yeager spends much of his time researching Cancer, Cervical cancer, Epidemiology, Demography and Genotyping. Meredith Yeager has researched Cancer in several fields, including Chromosome, Y chromosome and Somatic cell. Meredith Yeager combines subjects such as Odds ratio, Lineage, Biological dispersal, Genetic variation and Adenocarcinoma with his study of Epidemiology.

Meredith Yeager focuses mostly in the field of Genotype, narrowing it down to matters related to Whole Genome Amplification and, in some cases, Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism course of study focuses on Osteosarcoma and Locus, Oncology, Internal medicine and Genome-wide association study. Mutation is a subfield of Genetics that Meredith Yeager studies.
