Journal of Human and Clinical Genetics is a premier international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal committed to advancing knowledge and fostering communication in the field of human genetics. As a comprehensive platform, the journal serves researchers, educators, clinicians, and allied professionals, providing a robust educational resource and a forum for scholarly exchange. It is dedicated to disseminating cutting-edge research and in-depth reviews that enhance understanding of human genetics, including medical genetics and human genome analysis.
Focus and Scope
The journal focuses on the genetic underpinnings of human diseases and the broader implications of genetic research on medicine and biology. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Genetic Basis of Human Disease: Monogenic and polygenic disorders, biochemical genetics, dysmorphology, genetic epidemiology, and cancer genetics.
- Genomic Insights: Chromosome and genome structure, gene expression and regulation, functional and computational genomics, genome-wide association studies, and epigenetics.
- Clinical Applications: Medical genetics, pre-natal and post-natal diagnosis, pharmacogenetics, neurogenetics, and therapeutic approaches for genetic disorders.
- Specialized Areas: Cytogenetics, immunogenetics, behavioral genetics, developmental genetics, and stem cell research in human genetics.
- Innovative Approaches: Therapy for genetic diseases, gene editing, and the application of classical and modern genetics in understanding human biology.
The journal places a special emphasis on integrating molecular and clinical genetics to address complex biological questions and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, it encourages interdisciplinary studies that connect genetics with evolutionary biology, anthropology, and bioinformatics.
Aim
The aim of the Journal of Human and Clinical Genetics is to advance the collective understanding of human genetics by providing a platform for the publication of high-quality research, reviews, and case studies. The journal strives to facilitate the exchange of innovative ideas and findings, bridging the gap between research and clinical practice to shape the future of genetic medicine.
