About the Journal

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
• gene therapy
• 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.

Key features of the journal include:

• Articles - comprehensive reports and definitive research findings of interest to a broad audience of human molecular geneticists. We encourage inclusion of full experimental details, with as many display items (figures and tables) as required to tell the complete story.
• Review Issues - Human Molecular Genetics publishes two special review issues each year, including a themed review issue in April.

Now in its fifteenth year of publication, Human Molecular Genetics has clearly become one of the leading journals in this exciting frontier of scientific research.

With the enthusiastic support of the executive editors and editorial board, we intend to ensure that the journal's reputation for quality is reinforced in the years to come.
