Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodevelopmental disorders stand as one of the most frequent human genetic disorders. The recent advances in technologies and generating and analyzing high throughput sequencing data have exponentially increased the rate of molecular diagnostics.
The findings from genetic studies help to pinpoint potential therapeutic targets, identify informative biomarkers, and design effective preventive strategies. Precise and intime molecular diagnostics is a key to patient management and adopting the right plan for theraputics.
In this Special Issue, we encourage authors to submit their work related to neurodevelopmental disorders caused either by single or multiple genes, analyzed for whole genome, whole exome, genome-wide genotyping, or clinical diagnosis using advanced technologies in imaging, or developing advanced tools for the analysis of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, or metabolomics. The scope of this Issue is not limited to novel gene or causative variants identification; it also covers premarital testing testing, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), and new born screening.

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. Biomedicines 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.
