Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

His primary scientific interests are in Genetics, Allele, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genome-wide association study and Genotype. His Genetics and Genetic linkage, Haplotype, Linkage disequilibrium, Genetic association and SNP investigations all form part of his Genetics research activities. His Allele research integrates issues from Apolipoprotein E, Genetic variation and Risk factor.

His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Odds ratio, Haplogroup H and Haplogroup. The concepts of his Genome-wide association study study are interwoven with issues in Meta-analysis, Human leukocyte antigen and Parkinson's disease. His work in Genotype covers topics such as Macular degeneration which are related to areas like Case-control study.

His most cited work include:

  • Complement factor H variant increases the risk of age-related macular degeneration. (2135 citations)
  • A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants (638 citations)
  • Seven new loci associated with age-related macular degeneration (584 citations)

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

William K. Scott mostly deals with Genetics, Macular degeneration, Disease, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Age related. His Genome-wide association study, Genetic linkage, Locus, Haplotype and Allele investigations are all subjects of Genetics research. His research integrates issues of Genetic association and Candidate gene in his study of Genome-wide association study.

His Allele research incorporates themes from Apolipoprotein E, Genotype and Risk factor. The study incorporates disciplines such as Internal medicine, Factor H, Gene and Bioinformatics in addition to Macular degeneration. His Single-nucleotide polymorphism study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Genetic variation, Genetic predisposition and Case-control study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (47.33%)
  • Macular degeneration (24.87%)
  • Disease (19.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Genetics (47.33%)
  • Genome-wide association study (15.51%)
  • Disease (19.25%)

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

William K. Scott mainly investigates Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Disease, Internal medicine and Macular degeneration. Much of his study explores Genetics relationship to Glaucoma. As a part of the same scientific study, William K. Scott usually deals with the Genome-wide association study, concentrating on Open angle glaucoma and frequently concerns with Odds ratio.

His Disease research includes themes of Mutation and Gene. His Internal medicine study combines topics in areas such as RNA, Endocrinology and Oncology. His study in Macular degeneration is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Age related and Bioinformatics.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants (638 citations)
  • Large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association data identifies six new risk loci for Parkinson’s disease (395 citations)
  • Functional variants in the LRRK2 gene confer shared effects on risk for Crohn's disease and Parkinson's disease. (132 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Glaucoma, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Disease. Genetic variation, Imputation, Polymorphism, Allele frequency and Gene are the subjects of his Genetics studies. As part of his research on Allele frequency, studies on Genotype and Allele are part of the effort.

His Genome-wide association study research also works with subjects such as

  • Genetic association that connect with fields like Genomics and Genetic linkage,
  • Genetic model which is related to area like Human leukocyte antigen,
  • Locus which intersects with area such as Linkage disequilibrium. The Single-nucleotide polymorphism study combines topics in areas such as Optic nerve and Retinal ganglion. His Disease research incorporates elements of Macular degeneration, Age related and Bioinformatics.
