Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of medical genetics has been transformed in the past few decades, and has become a field in which clinical, genomics and functional studies regularly merge. NGS analyses, including exome and whole-genome data, can result in the discovery of novel causes of genetic disorders. This activity continuously leads to an improved understanding of the mechanisms of various genetic diseases. The establishment of cohorts of patients with rare diseases allows the definition of their natural history and the development of new treatments and clinical trials. The publication of new findings might contribute significantly to the scientific medical world, supplying insights into the evolving picture of the genetic basis of inherited diseases. Authors are invited to contribute submissions of reviews, research articles and case reports to this Special Issue of Genes dedicated to the “Genetic and Molecular Basis of Inherited Diseases”.
