Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medical Genetics is one the fastest growing medical specialties, and the continuous development and progress in comprehensive genomic testing methods has contributed to their routine implementation in clinical practice in many different areas of medicine, including paediatrics, gynaecology, internal medicine, oncology, etc. This Special Issue aims to provide a broad and updated overview of different topics associated with recent advances across the field of Medical Genetics, including genetic and genomic testing in clinical practice, molecular basis of human genetic diseases, clinical dysmorphology, novel therapeutic approaches, personalized medicine, ethical, legal and social implications, as well as genetic education and literacy. To progress in the knowledge of such intricate issues, we kindly invite for contributions by experts in the field in the form of research papers and critical reviews.
