About

Frank Lammert is a leading hepatologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the understanding of genetic susceptibility in cholestatic liver diseases. His primary focus lies in the genetic epidemiology of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and gallstone disease, where he has pioneered the identification of key genetic variants that predispose individuals to these conditions. Lammert’s landmark study, “A Comprehensive Analysis of Common Genetic Variation Around Six Candidate Loci for Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy” (2013, 124 citations), systematically dissected the role of canalicular transporter genes, confirming the significance of the ABCB11 p.444A allele and uncovering additional risk loci. This work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between rare Mendelian mutations and common complex disease genetics. Beyond ICP, his contributions to the understanding of cholesterol gallstone pathogenesis have earned him international recognition, including leadership roles in major hepatology societies. With a career marked by over 400 publications and numerous awards, Lammert’s research continues to shape clinical approaches to hereditary liver disorders, offering new pathways for risk stratification and personalized management.
