Human Molecular Genetics

Aims & Scope

Human Molecular Genetics concentrates on full-length research papers covering a wide range of topics in all aspects of human molecular genetics.

These include: the molecular basis of human genetic disease developmental genetics cancer genetics neurogenetics chromosome and genome structure and function therapy of genetic disease stem cells in human genetic disease and therapy, including the application of iPS cells genome-wide association studies mouse and other models of human diseases functional genomics computational genomics In addition, the journal also publishes research on other model systems for the analysis of genes, especially when there is an obvious relevance to human genetics.
