Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

Genetics, Huntington's disease, Internal medicine, Disease and Framingham Heart Study are his primary areas of study. His studies in Genome-wide association study, Locus, Genetic linkage, Allele and Gene are all subfields of Genetics research. His study in Huntington's disease is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Central nervous system disease, Degenerative disease, Age of onset and Trinucleotide repeat expansion.

His Trinucleotide repeat expansion research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Huntingtin, Huntingtin Protein and Linkage disequilibrium. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Endocrinology and Genotype. His research in Disease intersects with topics in Psychiatry and Genetic testing.

His most cited work include:

  • A novel gene containing a trinucleotide repeat that is expanded and unstable on Huntington's disease chromosomes (6309 citations)
  • Effects of Age, Sex, and Ethnicity on the Association Between Apolipoprotein E Genotype and Alzheimer Disease: A Meta-analysis (2851 citations)
  • A novel gene containing a trinucleotide repeat that is expanded and unstable on Huntington's disease chromosomes. The Huntington's Disease Collaborative Research Group. (2779 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Internal medicine, Disease, Huntington's disease and Genetic linkage. His work is connected to Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Locus, Quantitative trait locus, Allele and Gene, as a part of Genetics. He combines subjects such as Endocrinology, Genotype and Cardiology with his study of Internal medicine.

The concepts of his Disease study are interwoven with issues in Test, Psychiatry and Pediatrics. His Huntington's disease research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Degenerative disease, Age of onset and Trinucleotide repeat expansion. His Framingham Heart Study research focuses on Demography and how it connects with Risk factor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (43.60%)
  • Internal medicine (25.61%)
  • Disease (23.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Genetics (43.60%)
  • Huntington's disease (20.16%)
  • Genome-wide association study (8.99%)

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

Richard H. Myers mainly investigates Genetics, Huntington's disease, Genome-wide association study, Disease and Gene. His work in Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Huntingtin, Locus, Trinucleotide repeat expansion and Regulation of gene expression is related to Genetics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Psychiatry, Neurodegeneration, Asymptomatic, Cognitive decline and Apathy.

His work carried out in the field of Genome-wide association study brings together such families of science as Meta-analysis, Internal medicine, Pathogenesis, LRRK2 and Allele. Richard H. Myers interconnects Endocrinology and Pathology in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine. Richard H. Myers has included themes like microRNA and Prodrome in his Disease study.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association data identifies six new risk loci for Parkinson’s disease (395 citations)
  • Parkinson-associated risk variant in distal enhancer of α-synuclein modulates target gene expression (321 citations)
  • Identification of Genetic Factors that Modify Clinical Onset of Huntington’s Disease (301 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

Richard H. Myers focuses on Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Huntington's disease, Regulation of gene expression and Gene. Genetics is represented through his Huntingtin, Quantitative trait locus, Locus, Transmembrane transporter activity and Penetrance research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Meta-analysis, Internal medicine, Allele and 1000 Genomes Project in addition to Genome-wide association study.

His work deals with themes such as Cerebellum, Functional ability, Clinical trial, Trinucleotide repeat expansion and microRNA, which intersect with Huntington's disease. His studies link Disease with Trinucleotide repeat expansion. His Regulation of gene expression study also includes

  • Repressor, Huntingtin Protein and Transcriptional regulation most often made with reference to Chromatin,
  • Enhancer which is related to area like DNA methylation, Histone and Epigenome.
