What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Gene
- Genetics
- Internal medicine
Michael N. Weedon spends much of his time researching Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association and Body mass index.
Genetics is frequently linked to Type 2 diabetes in his study.
His research integrates issues of CDKAL1, Expression quantitative trait loci, Copy-number variation and SLC30A8 in his study of Genome-wide association study.
His Single-nucleotide polymorphism study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Meta-analysis, Case-control study, Polymorphism and Allele frequency.
The Genetic association study combines topics in areas such as Blood pressure, Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and Hemodynamics.
His studies in Body mass index integrate themes in fields like FTO gene, Obesity, SH2B1 and Insulin secretion.
His most cited work include:
- Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls (7922 citations)
- A common variant in the FTO gene is associated with body mass index and predisposes to childhood and adult obesity (3415 citations)
- Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index (2348 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine, Type 2 diabetes and Endocrinology.
His study in Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association, Allele, Gene and Locus is carried out as part of his Genetics studies.
His study on Genome-wide association study also encompasses disciplines like
- Body mass index which is related to area like FTO gene, SH2B1 and Meta-analysis,
- Human height most often made with reference to Heritability.
His Internal medicine research includes elements of Oncology and Genotype.
As a part of the same scientific family, Michael N. Weedon mostly works in the field of Type 2 diabetes, focusing on Obesity and, on occasion, Chronotype.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Birth weight and Genetic linkage.
He most often published in these fields:
- Genetics (53.52%)
- Genome-wide association study (36.62%)
- Internal medicine (33.33%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Genome-wide association study (36.62%)
- Genetics (53.52%)
- Internal medicine (33.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Michael N. Weedon mainly investigates Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Internal medicine, Type 1 diabetes and Mendelian randomization.
His work carried out in the field of Genome-wide association study brings together such families of science as Quantitative trait locus, Genetic association and Bioinformatics.
Allele, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Penetrance are the subjects of his Genetics studies.
His Allele research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Genotype and Locus.
Single-nucleotide polymorphism is closely attributed to Body mass index in his study.
The various areas that Michael N. Weedon examines in his Internal medicine study include Endocrinology and Oncology.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for height and body mass index in ∼700000 individuals of European ancestry (539 citations)
- Frequency and phenotype of type 1 diabetes in the first six decades of life: a cross-sectional, genetically stratified survival analysis from UK Biobank. (152 citations)
- Maternal and fetal genetic effects on birth weight and their relevance to cardio-metabolic risk factors (129 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Gene
- Internal medicine
- Mutation
His scientific interests lie mostly in Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Genetic association, Mendelian randomization and Body mass index.
His Genome-wide association study research includes themes of Offspring, Birth weight, Lean body mass, Medical genetics and Quantitative trait locus.
His research in Allele and Genetic variation are components of Genetics.
His Mendelian randomization study combines topics in areas such as Linkage disequilibrium and Mendelian Randomization Analysis.
Michael N. Weedon combines subjects such as Meta-analysis, Sedentary lifestyle, Obesity and Single-nucleotide polymorphism with his study of Body mass index.
His study in Single-nucleotide polymorphism is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biobank, Sample size determination and Computational biology.
