Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As Guest Editor, I am delighted to personally invite you to submit a paper for our Special Issue on Genomic Variation and Epidemiology of Cystic Fibrosis in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (Section: Molecular Genetics and Genomics). If accepted, your paper will be read by other investigators, practitioner scholars, and theorists who have addressed various aspects of the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of infectious diseases, including the epidemiological approaches used to investigate cystic fibrosis. For this Special Issue, we are recruiting colleagues like yourself who will be submitting papers based on original findings, mainly those associated with CFTR genotype, cystic fibrosis epidemiology, and personalized/precision medicine that can be used to manage the disease. However, other types of papers will be considered, such as targeted literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical papers.
The aim of the Special Issue is to assemble papers that announce, recruit, and publish new papers on cystic fibrosis and the occurrence of genomic variation and epidemiology that would be of special interest to readers of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. Thus, papers published in this Special Issue should significantly contribute to the literature focusing on the genomic variation and epidemiology of cystic fibrosis that has affected the entire cystic fibrosis population and caregivers who deserve special attention, especially scientists and healthcare managers.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, reviews, and clinical papers with molecular studies are welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Fernando Augusto Lima Marson
Guest Editor
