Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As Editors-in-Chief of Cardiogenetics, we are glad to announce upcoming Special Issue, entitled "Feature Papers Collections to Celebrate the First Impact Factor of Cardiogenetics". Cardiogenetics (ISSN 2035-8148) is an international, peer-reviewed, and open access journal that provides an advanced forum for studies related to all aspects of cardiogenetics (clinical, molecular, cellular, pharmacological). In this Special Issue highlighting feature papers, we aim to publish outstanding contributions in the main fields covered by the journal and thus make a great contribution to the research community.

We welcome high-quality papers that fall within the scope of the journal. Submitted papers will first be evaluated by Editors. Please note that all papers will be subjected to a thorough and rigorous peer review.

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. Cardiogenetics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1400 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.

Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a multifaceted and multisystemic inflammatory disorder, the etiology of which remains unknown. However, it has been suggested that an intricate interplay between genetic, environmental, and inflammatory factors may contribute to the development and progression of sarcoidosis.

Sarcoidosis is a multifaceted and multisystemic inflammatory disorder, the etiology of which remains unknown. However, it has been suggested that an intricate interplay between genetic, environmental, and inflammatory factors may contribute to the development and progression of sarcoidosis. Although 30–50% of patients demonstrate extra-pulmonary manifestations, cardiac involvement is rare, affecting only 2–5% of cases. Diagnosis is often challenging, relying on the careful application of clinical judgment, histopathological evidence, and imaging biomarkers. In this literature review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the genetic basis of sarcoidosis, the contribution to the pathogenesis of the disorder, and discuss the potential link between certain genetic variants and the development of cardiac sarcoidosis.
