Human Genetics

Journal Title：Human Genetics

Human Genetics is a monthly journal publishing original and timely articles on all aspects of human genetics. The Journal particularly welcomes articles in the areas of Behavioral genetics, Bioinformatics, Cancer genetics and genomics, Cytogenetics, Developmental genetics, Disease association studies, Dysmorphology, ELSI (ethical, legal and social issues), Evolutionary genetics, Gene expression, Gene structure and organization, Genetics of complex diseases and epistatic interactions, Genetic epidemiology, Genome biology, Genome structure and organization, Genotype-phenotype relationships, Human Genomics, Immunogenetics and genomics, Linkage analysis and genetic mapping, Methods in Statistical Genetics, Molecular diagnostics, Mutation detection and analysis, Neurogenetics, Physical mapping and Population Genetics. Articles reporting animal models relevant to human biology or disease are also welcome. Preference will be given to those articles which address clinically relevant questions or which provide new insights into human biology.

Unless reporting entirely novel and unusual aspects of a topic, clinical case reports, cytogenetic case reports, papers on descriptive population genetics, articles dealing with the frequency of polymorphisms or additional mutations within genes in which numerous lesions have already been described, and papers that report meta-analyses of previously published datasets will normally not be accepted.

The Journal typically will not consider for publication manuscripts that report merely the isolation, map position, structure, and tissue expression profile of a gene of unknown function unless the gene is of particular interest or is a candidate gene involved in a human trait or disorder.

Human Genetics 是一份月刊，发表有关人类遗传学各个方面的原创且及时的文章。该杂志特别欢迎行为遗传学、生物信息学、癌症遗传学和基因组学、细胞遗传学、发育遗传学、疾病关联研究、畸形学、ELSI（伦理、法律和社会问题）、进化遗传学、基因表达、基因结构和组织领域的文章, 复杂疾病的遗传学和上位相互作用, 遗传流行病学, 基因组生物学, 基因组结构和组织, 基因型-表型关系, 人类基因组学, 免疫遗传学和基因组学, 连锁分析和遗传作图, 统计遗传学方法, 分子诊断, 突变检测和分析、神经遗传学、物理绘图和种群遗传学。也欢迎报道与人类生物学或疾病相关的动物模型的文章。将优先考虑那些解决临床相关问题或对人类生物学提供新见解的文章。

除非报告某个主题的全新和不寻常的方面，临床病例报告、细胞遗传学病例报告、关于描述性群体遗传学的论文、涉及多态性频率的文章或已经描述了许多病变的基因内的其他突变，以及报告对以前发表的数据集进行荟萃分析的论文通常不会被接受。

期刊通常不会考虑发表仅报告功能未知基因的分离、图谱位置、结构和组织表达谱的稿件，除非该基因特别受关注或者是涉及人类特征的候选基因或混乱。

Human Genetics创刊于1964年，由SPRINGER出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖生物 - 遗传学全领域，此刊是该细分领域中属于非常不错的SCI期刊，在行业细分领域中学术影响力较大，专业度认可很高，所以对原创文章要求创新性较高，如果您的文章质量很高，可以尝试。平均审稿速度约1月，影响因子指数5.743，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
