Genetic and Molecular Susceptibility in Human Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Genetic susceptibility refers to the tendency of different populations and individuals to be susceptible to polygenic diseases, such as tumors, under the influence of the external environment, due to different genetic structures. Some environmental factors and personal living habits can affect tumor development. All environmental factors that alter cell cycle gene expression, apoptosis, and DNA damage repair are tumor-induced risk factors, including food, natural and artificial radiation, chemicals, and viruses.

This journal welcomes the publication of all findings pertaining to molecular susceptibility in human disease. Pure clinical studies are not within the scope of this Special Issue; however, clinical submissions with biomolecular experiments are welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
