Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Gene: Historical Medical Genetics II
The history surrounding genetic disorders will always be of interest to
both the medical community and the general public. It is important to
appreciate how clinical discoveries were first made and reported, as this
may provide insight into our current understanding of various diseases and
conditions. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known individuals possibly
affected by a disease may elucidate the medical basis for any
characteristic features that they exhibited. Articles should therefore
appeal to both a general medical and non-medical audience.
For this special issue, we invite submissions that deal with exciting
reports regarding genetic and non-infectious diseases. Topics include (but
are not limited to) the following:
(1) Cases of genetic diseases and their occurrences amongst well known
individuals or in literature and the arts
(2) Early descriptions of genetic disorders, including presentation of
index cases
(3) History of genetic diseases, including reviews of early scientific
literature
Submission guidelines:

or review papers for publication in a GENE.
