Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of pediatric nephrology is experiencing many advancements, driven by rapid breakthroughs in molecular genetics. Techniques such as next-generation sequencing, genomics, and proteomics have revolutionized our approach to pediatric kidney diseases and transplantation. These innovations have not only enabled the treatment of conditions previously deemed untreatable but have also significantly shortened the diagnostic process and enhanced the accuracy of diagnosis and clinical decision-making. Today, the application of new genomic technologies offers profound insights into disease mechanisms, crucial for both advancing research and improving clinical outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the significant impact of these genomic developments in pediatric nephrology. We invite submissions of original research articles, systematic reviews, and detailed case studies that investigate the application of genomic data in diagnosing, managing, and treating pediatric kidney diseases. We welcome contributions focused on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, the development of new diagnostic protocols, genotype–phenotype correlations, innovative treatment approaches, and the use of multiomic analyses to chart disease progression.
Your contributions should aim to highlight the vital role that genomic research plays in enhancing clinical outcomes and patient care in pediatric nephrology. This Special Issue aims to be a pivotal
resource for clinicians and researchers committed to improving the health outcomes of children with kidney diseases.

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.
