Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) encompass a diverse group of conditions affecting patients of different ages and groups. While genetic factors have been extensively studied, emerging evidence highlights the significant role of epigenetics in NMD pathogenesis and treatment. This Special Issue seeks original research articles, reviews, and case reports that advance our understanding of the genetic and epigenetic underpinnings of NMDs. We encourage submissions exploring the complex interplay between genetic variants, epigenetic modifications, and environmental factors in disease development, progression, and treatment. By fostering collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and geneticists, this Special Issue aims to accelerate the development of novel diagnostic tools, therapeutic strategies, and personalized treatment approaches for patients with NMDs.

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. Genes 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.
