Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Years of research progress, underpinned by large-scale advances made in studies published by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), has identified numerous candidate gene mutations in epithelial ovarian cancer. However, the therapeutic options for ovarian cancer patients have not dramatically advanced over the last two decades.

This Special Issue presents a collection of research reports and reviews in the areas of: (1) regulation and/or expression of BRCA1/BRCA2 gene variants; (2) genetic hereditary syndromes, such as nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch syndrome; (3) DNA methylome analyses; 4) chromatin modulation in ovarian cancer; and (5) regulatory RNAs (miRNA, lncRNA, eRNA) in ovarian cancer.

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.
