Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The genetics and genomics of breast cancer cover a field of research that includes inherited predisposition to breast cancer as well as somatic genetic changes that determine the course of disease and response to therapies. Both fields have seen tremendous progress in the past two decades as a result of technological developments in microarray and nucleotide sequencing technologies, which have opened avenues towards personalised prevention and treatment strategies. This Special Issues invites papers that present original work in both areas, for example, describing new factors associated with breast cancer predisposition, or with therapeutic response, or new insights in the functional impact of genetic or genomic variation with respect to breast cancer development. Work describing statistical or bioinformatic analyses of complex genetic models or interactions, and their impact on risk assessment and disease management, is also welcome.

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.
