Diagnosis and Therapies for Genetic Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on “Diagnosis and Therapies for Genetic Diseases”. Genetic disorders share common aspects, particularly related to the difficulties experienced in the diagnosis, treatment, and management. This link is even more true when considering the subset of rare genetic diseases. Within this Special Issue, we would like to expand our knowledge in the field, focusing on the different prominent aspects. On the one hand, the identification of known or new disease-associated variants, and the improvement in the related technologies, are essential to guarantee the possibility of diagnosis. On the other hand, de novo drug discovery and drug repositioning represent the hot topic of finding treatments for uncured diseases and ameliorating many therapies with significant limitations.
