Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of genetic diseases with neurological manifestations has recently increased. Neurogenetic disorders form a large group of diseases recognized as rare, but commonly underdiagnosed.
Many neurological diseases have an associated genetic profile and it is believed that one-third of Mendelian genetic diseases present phenotypes with associated neurological manifestations. Greater knowledge of the genes involved in neurogenetic diseases makes the development of new treatment strategies for this group of diseases more feasible. Of note, gene-therapeutic approaches provide promise for a cure for at least some of these diseases. The identification of these genes also makes possible new diagnostic strategies for these diseases, as well as the definition of prognosis and genetic counseling. This Special Issue aims to highlight different types of neurogenetic disorders across human life, focusing on their natural history, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment approaches.

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. Brain Sciences 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 2200 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.
