Summary
This bibliometric review analyzed the 50 most-cited genioplasty articles, revealing a focus on outcomes and technical advancements with predominantly low-level evidence. The United States leads influential genioplasty research.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Bibliometrics
- Craniofacial Surgery
Background:
- Genioplasty is a crucial surgical procedure for correcting chin deformities.
- Its clinical significance is growing with advancements in biomaterials and 3-D planning.
- A bibliometric review of highly cited genioplasty literature is essential.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the 50 most-cited genioplasty articles.
- To identify key trends, contributors, and evidence levels in genioplasty research.
- To provide a framework for future genioplasty studies.
Main Methods:
- Searched the Web of Science database for "genioplasty" on May 6, 2024.
- Analyzed 917 publications from 1945-2024, focusing on the top 50 most-cited.
- Assessed citation density, authorship, institutions, journals, countries, topics, and level of evidence (LOE).
Main Results:
- The top 50 articles received 2777 citations (average 55.54/article).
- The United States (58%) and South Korea were leading contributors.
- Most studies focused on outcomes (alone or combined) and were Level of Evidence IV (n=29) or V (n=15).
Conclusions:
- Genioplasty literature is characterized by low-level evidence, emphasizing outcomes and technical progress.
- This review identifies major contributors and research trends in the field.
- The findings offer a foundation for future genioplasty research directions.

02:02Genomics
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...
02:30Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Overview
01:25What is Population Genetics?
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.
02:59Animal Mitochondrial Genetics
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...
03:21Genome Size and the Evolution of New Genes
While every living organism has a genome of some kind (be it RNA, or DNA), there is considerable variation in the sizes of these blueprints. One major factor that impacts genome size is whether the organism is prokaryotic or eukaryotic. In prokaryotes, the genome contains little to no non-coding sequence, such that genes are tightly clustered in groups or operons sequentially along the chromosome. Conversely, the genes in eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of non-coding sequence.
