Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce the 2nd edition of our Special Issue, “Unraveling the Genetic Background of Neurological Disorders”. The successful first edition of this thematic Special Issue showcased a range of interesting contributions and discussions (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms/special_issues/Genetic_Neurological).
Neurogenetics had a great progress in recent years, especially due to the advancement of techniques of molecular genetics. Today, neurogenetics confer not only to the level of research and diagnosis, but also at therapeutic level. Therefore, ongoing research on neurogenetics is of great importance, as it can contribute to the investigation of personalized treatments and therapies that will benefit patients affected by neurological disorders.
This Special Issue aims to cover the newest advancements in the field of neurogenetics. All article types are welcome, and Authors are invited to contribute original studies (e.g., candidate gene-association studies, genome-wide association studies, genetic linkage studies), reviews, systematic reviews, communication, and related case reports, etc. regarding the genetics of neurological disorders.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
