Advances in the Genetics of Female Reproductive Health and Disease

Dear Colleagues,

IJMS (International Journal of Molecular Sciences) is proposing a Special Issue entitled “Advances in the Genetics of Female Reproductive Health and Disease”.

This Special Issue summarizes research on genetics and epigenetics of female reproductive disorders, with a special interest in the interaction between genetics and the environment, especially the impact of microbiota. This Special Issue focuses on the pathogenesis and (epi)genetic factors of female infertility, ovarian (premature) aging, and abnormal proliferation of female reproductive tissue like endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This Special Issue aims to publish high-quality manuscripts, with a particular emphasis on the pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms associated with female reproductive disorders and health, opening up new perspectives of care.

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

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.
