About This Topic
The landscape of genetic diagnostic testing has changed dramatically with the introduction of the clinical exome sequencing, particularly in nonspecific or heterogeneous phenotypes. The main focus of this issue is to highlight the role of clinical exome sequencing not just in postnatal (including cancer syndromes), but also in prenatal (and perinatal) settings, as well as its potentiality in phenotypic expansion and personalised medicine. One secondary target would also be the development of analytical pipelines for the identification of hypomorphic variants and structural variants, including Copy Number Variations (CNVs).
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Research articles and review articles are highly invited. Authors are encouraged to send the tentative title and abstract of the planned paper to the Editorial Office (genetics@lidsen.com) for record. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office.
