2. AIMS AND SCOPE
Clinical Genetics links research to the clinic, translating advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of genetic disease for the practising clinical geneticist. The journal publishes high quality research papers, short reports, and reviews that connect medical genetics research with clinical practice.
Topics of particular interest are:
Linking genetic variations to disease
Genome rearrangements and disease
Epigenetics and disease
The translation of genotype to phenotype
Genetics of complex disease
Management/intervention of genetic diseases
Novel therapies for genetic diseases
Developmental biology, as it relates to clinical genetics
Cancer Genetics
Genome-wide analyses (genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics) with an obvious significance for the clinic
Studies of animal models that help understand the genetic basis of human disease
Bioinformatics and computational analysis of genetic/genomic disorders
Ethical, legal and social implications of medical genetics
Social science research on the psychological and behavioural aspects of living with or being at risk of genetic disease
Teaching medical and clinical genetics (concepts and resources).
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
i. Original Articles
Contributions intended for publication as an Original Article should be so labelled.
Word limit: 6,000 words maximum, including title page, abstract, references, figure legends and Acknowledgements.
Figures/Tables: Total of no more than to seven figures and/or tables.
Description: Original Articles feature novel findings and developments. We particularly welcome articles providing evidence of novel gene discoveries, or describing research about the second confirming mutation for a novel gene, especially if they provide functional data or mechanistic insights.
ii. Short Reports
Contributions intended for publication as Short Reports should be so labelled.
Word limit: 2,500 words maximum, including title page, abstract, references, figure legends and Acknowledgements.
Figures/Tables: Total of no more than three figures and/or tables.
Description: Short Reports present definitive findings, molecular analyses of collected case reports, or single case reports of unusual clinical or scientific importance. Reports must be self-contained pieces, and those describing a single variant at a well-known locus will be published only if they are of unusual interest or if functional data incriminating the variant are provided. The format of Short Reports should be identical to Original Articles but in some circumstances the main body of the text can be presented without division into sections. This section is suitable for Exome/Whole genome sequence (WGS) reports incriminating novel variants in human disease. A description containing numerical details about the number of reads and the number and type of variants observed should be included. Reports on potentially damaging isolated variants without strong arguments incriminating them as causal defects will be given low priority. For WES-based studies a table must be provided as supplementary material (for review only) listing the variants found after the most obvious filtering steps (segregation, pathogenicity, frequency, etc).
iii. Letters to the Editor
Word limit: 900 words maximum, including title page, 5 references, a figure legend and Acknowledgements.
Letters are not subdivided into sections nor do they include an abstract or online supplements. They can include for-review-only supplements.
Figures/Tables: Total of no more than one figure or table.
References: Maximum of 5 references (included in the word count).
Description: Letters describing new findings are no longer accepted as Initial Submissions. Letters are a suitable venue for reporting interesting observations that, in the opinion of the Editors and referees do not warrant publication as Short Reports.
iv. Correspondence
Word limit: 300 words maximum
Description: This section is appropriate for publication of readers' correspondence regarding any article published in Clinical Genetics. The authors of the article in question will be invited to respond. Please note that this is done prior to acceptance. A Correspondence will only be published if deemed to be of interest to our readership and of a sufficient scientific standard. Due to tremendous space constraints on the journal, we can only publish approximately 20 percent of the submissions.
v. Mini-reviews and Reviews
Word limit: 3,000 words maximum (Mini-reviews) and 7,500 words maximum (Reviews), including title page, abstract, references, figure legends and Acknowledgements.Figures/Tables: Total of no more than 4 figures and/or tables (Mini-reviews) or 7 figures and/or tables (Reviews). Meta-analyses and systematic reviews of observational studies should comply with PRISMA guidelines.
Description: Mini-reviews and Reviews highlight current developments in relevant areas of medical genetics. Their publication is free of charge. If you are interested in submitting to this section, you can send a pre-submission inquiry (including a cover letter, an abstract and an outline of the main sections) to the Editor-in-Chief (reiner.veitia@ijm.fr). Online supplements are accepted for Review Articles; these should be uploaded as separate Supplementary files.
4. PREPARING THE SUBMISSION
Initial Submission
Submit "Your paper your way". Occasionally the editors may ask you to modify the format of your paper before proceeding. Only when your paper is at the revision stage will you be requested to put it in the final intended format. However, for clarity, initial submissions should be divided into sections as described below (see Parts of the Manuscript). Moreover, Clinical Genetics requires that all appropriate steps be taken in obtaining informed consent of any and all human subjects participating in the research and a relevant statement must be included in the Materials and Methods section of the manuscript at the initial submission. A statement indicating that the procedures employed were reviewed and approved by the appropriate institutional review committee is also required (see more details below). If your submission contains any identifiable patient images or other protected health information, you MUST provide documented permission from the patient (or the patient’s parent or legal representative) before review. The documented permission should be supplied as supplemental material uploaded with the submission. When facial pictures are not strictly necessary to help clinicians recognize important phenotypic traits, photographs should preserve patient anonymity.
Cover Letters
Include a letter from the author who will be responsible for correspondence regarding the manuscript as well as for communications among authors regarding revisions and approval of proofs.
The letter should include:
an outline of the main findings and why Clinical Genetics would be interested in publishing them (first documented disease-causing variant, first confirmatory study, analyses of large series of patients or variants, etc.)
any information needed to ensure a fair review process, including related manuscripts submitted to other journals
Parts of the Manuscript
The manuscript should be submitted in separate files:
Graphical Abstract, uploaded as a separate Image file. Please see below for further information;
Main text file;
Figures;
Tables;
Supplementary files;
Photographic consent form (if applicable).
Main Text File
The text file should be presented in the following order:
A short informative title that contains the major key words. The title should not contain abbreviations (see Wiley's best practice SEO tips);
A short running title of less than 40 characters;
The full names of the authors;
The author's institutional affiliations where the work was conducted, with a footnote for the author’s present address if different from where the work was conducted;
Acknowledgments;
A Conflict of Interest Statement;
A Data Availability Statement:
Abstract and keywords;
Main text;
References;
Figure legends;
Appendices (if relevant).
Figures, tables and supporting information should be supplied as separate files.
