Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Mutation

Silvana Franceschetti mostly deals with Epilepsy, Genetics, Neuroscience, Mutation and Pathology. Her studies deal with areas such as Neuropsychology, Pediatrics, Audiology and Electroencephalography as well as Epilepsy. Her work carried out in the field of Pediatrics brings together such families of science as Young adult, Disease, Etiology and Myoclonus.

Silvana Franceschetti interconnects Artificial neural network, Central nervous system disease, Support vector machine and Feature vector in the investigation of issues within Electroencephalography. The Neuroscience study which covers Glutamate receptor that intersects with Acetylcholine, Periventricular Region and gamma-Aminobutyric acid. Her Pathology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ether-A-Go-Go Potassium Channels, Cell culture and Psychomotor delay.

Her most cited work include:

  • Strikingly Different Clinicopathological Phenotypes Determined by Progranulin-Mutation Dosage (300 citations)
  • Seizure control and treatment in pregnancy: Observations from the EURAP epilepsy pregnancy registry (237 citations)
  • Unstable minisatellite expansion causing recessively inherited myoclonus epilepsy, EPM1 (172 citations)

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

Silvana Franceschetti focuses on Epilepsy, Neuroscience, Electroencephalography, Myoclonus and Progressive myoclonus epilepsy. Silvana Franceschetti has researched Epilepsy in several fields, including Internal medicine, Pediatrics and Pathology. Her Electroencephalography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Electromyography, Magnetic resonance imaging, Central nervous system disease and Audiology.

Her research investigates the connection with Audiology and areas like Neuropsychology which intersect with concerns in Developmental psychology. Her Myoclonus research integrates issues from Motor cortex, Somatosensory evoked potential and Neurological disorder. Her studies in Progressive myoclonus epilepsy integrate themes in fields like Kufs disease and Ataxia.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Epilepsy (39.37%)
  • Neuroscience (32.58%)
  • Electroencephalography (31.67%)

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

  • Epilepsy (39.37%)
  • Electroencephalography (31.67%)
  • Genetics (10.86%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Epilepsy, Electroencephalography, Genetics, Missense mutation and Audiology. Her research in Epilepsy intersects with topics in Disease, Pediatrics and Myoclonus. Her Electroencephalography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Anesthesia and Magnetic resonance imaging.

Her Missense mutation study also includes fields such as

  • Electrophysiology and related Point mutation, Hippocampus and Neocortex,
  • Compound heterozygosity together with Age of onset. Her Audiology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Alpha, Neurophysiology, Neuroimaging and Coherence analysis. Patch clamp is a subfield of Neuroscience that Silvana Franceschetti tackles.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Ultra-Rare Genetic Variation in the Epilepsies: A Whole-Exome Sequencing Study of 17,606 Individuals. (78 citations)
  • Intronic ATTTC repeat expansions in STARD7 in familial adult myoclonic epilepsy linked to chromosome 2 (35 citations)
  • Rare coding variants in genes encoding GABAA receptors in genetic generalised epilepsies: an exome-based case-control study (31 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Mutation

Silvana Franceschetti mainly focuses on Epilepsy, Missense mutation, Genetics, Progressive myoclonus epilepsy and Mutation. Her Epilepsy study combines topics in areas such as Exome sequencing, Bioinformatics, Disease, Pediatrics and Genetic testing. Her work deals with themes such as Neocortex, Electrophysiology, Compound heterozygosity and Point mutation, which intersect with Missense mutation.

While the research belongs to areas of Progressive myoclonus epilepsy, she spends her time largely on the problem of Kufs disease, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Ataxia and Age of onset. Her work carried out in the field of Mutation brings together such families of science as Phenotype, Loss function and Gene isoform. Her research integrates issues of Neuroscience and Myoclonic epilepsy in her study of Etiology.
