Article Types We Publish
We welcome diverse manuscript types that advance understanding of hereditary diseases, from basic molecular mechanisms to clinical applications and population genetics. Each submission undergoes rigorous peer review by experts in your specific research domain.
Original Research Articles
Novel findings in disease mechanisms, genetic mapping, functional genomics, or therapeutic development for inherited disorders.
Clinical Case Reports
Rare phenotypes, novel mutations, unusual inheritance patterns, or unexpected clinical presentations of known genetic conditions.
Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses
Comprehensive analyses of genotype-phenotype correlations, treatment outcomes, or diagnostic approaches across multiple studies.
Methods & Protocols
Novel genetic testing methodologies, bioinformatics pipelines, or laboratory protocols for studying hereditary conditions.
Population Genetics Studies
Founder effects, carrier frequencies, genetic epidemiology, or population-specific disease variants and their clinical implications.
Therapeutic Interventions
Gene therapy trials, enzyme replacement studies, small molecule treatments, or precision medicine approaches for genetic diseases.
Genetic Counseling Research
Studies on risk communication, patient decision-making, psychosocial impacts, or ethical considerations in genetic testing.
Short Communications
Preliminary findings, novel mutations, or time-sensitive discoveries that warrant rapid dissemination to the genetics community.
Reviews & Perspectives
Comprehensive overviews of disease mechanisms, emerging technologies, or critical analyses of current genetic research paradigms.
Pre-Submission Checklist
Ensure your manuscript meets our requirements before submission. This checklist helps expedite the review process and reduces the likelihood of desk rejection.
Essential Requirements
Manuscript File: Word (.docx) or LaTeX format, double-spaced, line numbers enabled for review
Figures & Tables: High-resolution images (300 DPI minimum), TIFF or EPS format for publication-quality graphics
Ethics Approval: IRB/Ethics committee approval for human studies, IACUC approval for animal research
Informed Consent: Documentation of patient consent for genetic studies and case reports
Data Availability: Genomic data deposited in appropriate repositories (dbGaP, ClinVar, etc.)
Author Contributions: CRediT taxonomy used to specify each author's role in the research
Competing Interests: Full disclosure of financial relationships, patents, or conflicts of interest
Nomenclature: HGVS nomenclature for genetic variants, standardized gene symbols (HGNC)
Genetic Data Requirements: All novel variants must be submitted to ClinVar or similar databases. Genome-wide association studies require deposition in dbGaP. Include accession numbers in your manuscript.
