Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to present this Special Issue of Genes dedicated to the “Clinical Genetics of Diabetes”, a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of genomics, endocrinology, and personalized medicine. While environmental and lifestyle factors play pivotal roles, the contribution of genetic determinants has gained increasing recognition in the context of diabetes mellitus.
Innovative techniques, including high-throughput sequencing, single-cell multi-omics, and machine-learning analytics, have uncovered novel mechanisms underlying β-cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, and immune dysregulation. These genomic insights enhance diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutic strategies.
This Special Issue of Genes, “Clinical Genetics of Diabetes”, captures this momentum and offers a platform for discoveries that will drive precision diabetology. We welcome original research, reviews, and perspectives that identify new disease genes, define genotype–phenotype correlations, refine diagnostic algorithms, test pharmacogenomic strategies, or examine ethical dimensions of genomic medicine. Topics may include monogenic, polygenic, syndromic, or gestational diabetes, as well as related metabolic or autoimmune disorders, and population-level risk prediction. Rigorous methods, transparent data sharing, and interdisciplinary collaboration will guide the editorial process.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this important and timely Special Issue.
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Tuncay Delibasi
Guest Editor
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.
