Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, neurogenetics have accumulated more and more attention and have revolutionized the understanding of multiple formerly enigmatic neurological disorders. With the increased availability and affordability of genetic testing, precision medicine has become a growingly popular concept. Among others, genetic testing and personalized medicine are expected to domineer the future of dementia care and upcoming advancements in pharmacological treatments. This collection aims to cover the most recent developments in the field of genetics in dementia and cognitive impairment. Studies on the genetic architecture of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia entities, on the contribution of genetics to cognitive impairment and decline, on epigenetic variation and gene-environment interactions, are welcome. Any types of manuscripts supported by the Journal—original research articles, brief reports, communications, case reports, narrative reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses—pertaining to these topic are welcome.
Dr. Ioannis Liampas
Guest Editor
