Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unravelling the genetic and genomic basis of kidney diseases has not only fostered our ability to personalize kidney medicine, with a particular focus in the genetic diagnosis of inherited kidney disorders, but has also set up the groundwork for a molecular characterization of the pathogenesis of both rare inherited phenotypes as well common diseases and traits in which heritability plays a role. With the current call, the Editorial Board aims to collect examples of how research in genetics and genomics has leveraged precision kidney care. We hope that the authors, with their unique expertise in the field, will embrace the challenge and contribute to the current issue’s success.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
