Neurology: Genetics is an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Neurology: Genetics is an online open access journal publishing peer-reviewed reports in the field of neurogenetics. The mission of Neurology: Genetics is to provide neurologists with outstanding original contributions that elucidate the role of genetic and epigenetic variation in diseases and biological traits of the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Original articles in all areas of neurogenetics will be published including rare and common genetic variation, genotype-phenotype correlations, outlier phenotypes as a result of mutations in known disease-genes, and genetic variations with a putative link to diseases. This will include studies reporting on genetic disease risk and pharmacogenomics. In addition, Neurology: Genetics will publish results of gene-based clinical trials (viral, ASO, etc.). Genetically engineered model systems are not a primary focus of Neurology: Genetics, but studies using model systems for treatment trials are welcome, including well-powered studies reporting negative results.

Papers submitted to Neurology: Genetics undergo the same thorough peer review process as Neurology submissions.

Articles are published in the Latest Articles queue as soon as they are ready for publication. Issues are compiled bimonthly.
