Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Genetics, Immunology, Internal medicine, Odds ratio and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. Tony R. Merriman usually deals with Genetics and limits it to topics linked to Gout and Epidemiology, SLC2A9, Obesity and Gene polymorphism. His Immunology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as PTPN22, Allele, Allele frequency, Crohn's disease and Cohort.

His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Gastroenterology and Endocrinology. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research includes elements of Coronary artery disease and Polymorphism. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Communicable disease and Gerontology.

His most cited work include:

  • Global and regional mortality from 235 causes of death for 20 age groups in 1990 and 2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (8830 citations)
  • A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (7776 citations)
  • Global, regional, and national prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adults during 1980–2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (6893 citations)

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

Tony R. Merriman mainly focuses on Gout, Internal medicine, Genetics, Hyperuricemia and Single-nucleotide polymorphism. Tony R. Merriman has researched Gout in several fields, including Uric acid, Logistic regression, Allopurinol, SLC2A9 and Genetic association. His work deals with themes such as Body mass index, Excretion and Renal function, which intersect with Uric acid.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology in addition to Internal medicine. The concepts of his Hyperuricemia study are interwoven with issues in Asymptomatic and Disease. Tony R. Merriman studied Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Immunology that intersect with Crohn's disease, Inflammatory bowel disease, PTPN22 and Allele frequency.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gout (52.05%)
  • Internal medicine (49.42%)
  • Genetics (30.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Gout (52.05%)
  • Internal medicine (49.42%)
  • Hyperuricemia (22.22%)

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

Gout, Internal medicine, Hyperuricemia, Allele and Type 2 diabetes are his primary areas of study. His Gout research incorporates elements of Body mass index, Area under the curve, Disease, Risk factor and Receiver operating characteristic. His work in the fields of Disease, such as Inflammatory arthritis, intersects with other areas such as Auto inflammatory disease.

He combines subjects such as Gastroenterology and Endocrinology with his study of Internal medicine. His Allele study is related to the wider topic of Genetics. His study in Type 2 diabetes is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Metformin, Obesity and Genotype.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rare genetic variants in interleukin-37 link this anti-inflammatory cytokine to the pathogenesis and treatment of gout (17 citations)
  • Genomic dissection of 43 serum urate-associated loci provides multiple insights into molecular mechanisms of urate control (14 citations)
  • The ABCG2 Q141K hyperuricemia and gout associated variant illuminates the physiology of human urate excretion (13 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

Tony R. Merriman focuses on Gout, Hyperuricemia, Body mass index, Type 2 diabetes and Allele. Tony R. Merriman interconnects Immunology, Genetics, Genetic association and Bioinformatics in the investigation of issues within Gout. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Genetics, narrowing it down to issues related to the Kidney disease, and often Locus.

His Hyperuricemia study incorporates themes from Metabolic syndrome, Disease, Physiology and Confounding. His research integrates issues of Inflammasome and Comorbidity in his study of Disease. His Diabetes mellitus study deals with Gestational diabetes intersecting with Obesity.
