Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure, and cerebrovascular diseases, such as strokes are the most common reasons behind the mortality of humans in the 21st century. Essential metabolic disorders such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, lipid metabolic disorders and others are the top risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and are prevalent worldwide in epidemic proportions. For example, there are striking proportions of hypertensives in any given population who eventually succumb to cardiovascular diseases and stroke. In addition, in recent decades, much research has been reported that shows obesity and diabetes mellitus are significantly associated with cardiovascular diseases in the general population. An increasing number of studies reveal that various lipid metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases commonly coexist. However, the molecular genetics and causality of metabolic disorders in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases remains unclear, and gaining an understanding of the molecular genetics and genomics of this area is still a major challenge at present. Therefore, this Special Issue provides us with an opportunity to deeply discuss the molecular genetics and genomics of metabolic disorders in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In this Special Issue, we welcome submissions of original research (basic and clinical research), case reports and review articles focusing on, but not limited to, aspects of the molecular genetics and genomics of metabolic disorders in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
