Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to participate in this Special Issue on “Genetics of Human Cardiovascular Disease”.
The genetics of human cardiovascular disease represent a very broad topic. In recent decades, much attention has been given to the study of the genetics of such common diseases as coronary artery disease and a number of its subphenotypes, arterial hypertension, and stroke. Researchers have come a long way: from studying individual markers to whole genomes, from studying small cohorts to creating large biobanks. Great efforts are focused on the creation of polygenic risk meters for common diseases. At the same time, studies of monogenic diseases are underway, and methods for searching for causal nucleotide variants are being improved. A very important area of research is orphan diseases.
Our understanding of oligogenic diseases is expanding. Every year, there is more and more research on the epigenetic mechanisms of disease development. The deepening of our knowledge gradually leads to a decrease in the share of multifactorial diseases in human pathology due to their transition to other categories. The development of new methods and approaches will give us many more discoveries.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to present original research and review articles that will help us keep up to date with the latest research in the field of CVD genetics.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Genes.

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).

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.
