Inherited Blood Disorders: From Molecular Mechanisms to Diagnostic Tools

Dear Colleagues,

Hemostasis is a complex and tightly regulated system that attempts to maintain a homeostatic balance to permit normal blood flow, without bleeding or thrombosis. Hemostasis reflects the subtle balance between procoagulant and anticoagulant factors in the pathways of primary hemostasis, secondary hemostasis, and fibrinolysis. Advances in both molecular genetic analysis and laboratory tests for the diagnosis of blood disorders facilitate both the management and treatment of patients.

We invite submissions to this Special Issue which focus on inherited bleeding disorders. From unraveling molecular intricacies to advancing diagnostic methodologies, this Special Issue aims to explore the comprehensive landscape of these conditions. Whether the paper delves into pathogenic mechanisms or discusses innovative diagnostic approaches, we welcome contributions which shed light on various aspects of inherited blood disorders. Join us in unraveling the complexities and exploring the advances in diagnosis and understanding in this crucial field.

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.
