Genomic Insights into Stroke

Dear Colleagues, 

Stroke is a multifactorial disease and an extremely serious and socially important medical condition. The molecular genetic mechanisms for the pathogenesis and pharmacological correction of stroke remain largely unknown. However, the common use of high-throughput technologies, including genome-wide association studies (GWAS), DNA and RNA sequencing, and the development and analysis of model systems, has revealed genomic data suspected to be involved in predicting the risk and improving the diagnostics and treatment of stroke. Therefore, systematizing and discussing the results and prospects of stroke genomics is necessary.

This Special Issue entitled “Genomics of Stroke” is intended to provide a platform for a wide range of reviews, research articles, communications, and technical notes related to genetics studies of the pathogenesis, progression, diagnosis, and treatment of stroke. We encourage submissions that focus on a strong genomics component and are devoted to GWAS, functional studies of stroke-related genes or noncoding RNAs, model systems, pharmacogenomic and pharmacotranscriptomic studies, gene expression analyses, machine learning of the genetic markers associated with stroke, and other bioinformatics analyses of stroke using DNA or RNA sequencing data. Please contact the Guest Editors should you have any questions related to the scope of this Special Issue.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
