Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 19th International Workshop Fragile X and other Neurodevelopmental Disorders will be held on September 18-21, 2019 in Sorrento, Italy. The event webpage is: www.igb.cnr.it/19thxlid/
Traditionally, this Workshop has two main aims: (1) To foster interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research on the genetic bases, molecular pathogenesis, clinical presentation of, and innovative therapies for, intellectual disability, including fragile X syndrome, other X-linked conditions, autism, and other neurodevelopmental disorders; and (2) to provide an informal setting where trainees and young investigators across a range of scientific disciplines can build a network among both established and junior investigators.
All accepted papers from the Workshop will be entitled a 15% discount. Feel free to join the Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP) of MDPI for further benefits.
The current Special Issue invites submissions of unpublished original work describing recent advances on all aspects related to the following topics:
- Fragile X and FMR1-related diseases;
- Other XLID and autosomal ID conditions;
- Syndromes caused by multiple “single gene” defects;
- Mechanisms of disease using human models;
- Autism, the unending nightmare of the geneticist;
- Epigenetic signatures and diagnostic biomarkers;
- Therapeutic perspectives.
