Abstract

Polymorphism of haptoglobin in human serum was first discovered over 60 years ago. A new paper characterizes the complex structural variation at the HP locus in detail and, by using imputation from flanking SNP genotype data, shows that it affects blood cholesterol levels.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 March 2016.
All research outputs
#6,384,509
of 22,858,915 outputs
Outputs from Nature Genetics
#5,115
of 7,199 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#91,596
of 300,926 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nature Genetics
#57
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,858,915 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,199 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 41.2. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 300,926 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
