Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Internal medicine and Genetic association. The various areas that Sekar Kathiresan examines in his Genome-wide association study study include Coronary artery disease, Disease, Allele, Locus and Genetic architecture. His studies deal with areas such as Cholesterol and Lipoprotein as well as Genetics.

His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Quantitative trait locus, Body mass index, Genetic model and Genetic epidemiology. His work carried out in the field of Internal medicine brings together such families of science as Endocrinology, Genotype and Cardiology. His research in Genetic association intersects with topics in SNP and Genetic testing.

His most cited work include:

  • Analysis of protein-coding genetic variation in 60,706 humans (6694 citations)
  • Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids (2804 citations)
  • Genome-Wide Association Analysis Identifies Loci for Type 2 Diabetes and Triglyceride Levels (2462 citations)

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

Sekar Kathiresan mostly deals with Genetics, Internal medicine, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Endocrinology. His work in Gene, Genetic variation, Locus, Exome and Allele is related to Genetics. His study explores the link between Internal medicine and topics such as Cardiology that cross with problems in Framingham Risk Score.

His Genome-wide association study research incorporates elements of Bioinformatics, Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture, Disease and Genetic association. His Genetic association study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Computational biology and Blood pressure. His Coronary artery disease study combines topics in areas such as Multifunction cardiogram and Case-control study.
