Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled '15th Anniversary of Genes: Feature Papers in the "Neurogenetics and Neurogenomics"', will bring together high-quality research articles, reviews, communications, and perspectives exploring the interplay between genomics and nervous system function, development, and diseases. The Special Issue celebrates the 15th anniversary of Genes, as well as the 10th anniversary of the journal receiving its first impact factor. This Issue will focus on recent advances in genomics and genetics research related to the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of neurological disorders, as well as neurodevelopment and pathogenic mechanisms. We encourage the Editorial Board Members of the 'Neurogenomics' section to contribute feature papers reflecting the latest progress in their field of research, or to invite relevant senior experts and colleagues to contribute to this Special Issue. Our aim is to showcase our section as an attractive open access publishing platform for neurogenomics research.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multi-omics studies on neurological function and development.
- Functional genomics approaches in neurological diseases.
- Genetics of neurological monogenic diseases and complex disorders.
- Genetic testing and molecular diagnostics of neurological diseases.
- Genotype–phenotype correlations.
- Precision medicine.
- Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics.
- Advanced therapies (gene therapy/ targeted genome editing/genetically engineered cell therapy/RNA- and small nucleic acid-based therapeutics) for neurological 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.
