Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid advances in genomics and metabolic science are reshaping our understanding of rare diseases. This Special Issue highlights emerging research at the intersection of nutrition, genetics, and metabolism, with a focus on translational strategies that aim to improve patient outcomes. Topics include precision nutrition approaches in inherited conditions such as inborn errors of metabolism and others, metabolomic and multi-omic profiling to refine diagnosis and monitoring, and novel therapeutic targets informed by pathway-level biology. Particular emphasis is placed on the growing recognition of the relevance of genetic carriers of rare diseases, which may challenge the historical perspective that heterozygotes of certain rare genetic diseases are clinically unaffected. By integrating nutrition, genetics and metabolism, this issue aims to advance personalized care models, illuminate mechanisms driving inter-individual variability in inherited disease presentation and progression, and offer insights into precision nutrition-based intervention strategies.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
