Aims and Scope of Journal of Medical Genetics
The Journal of Medical Genetics is a leading international peer-reviewed medical journal covering original research in human genetics, including reviews of and opinion on the latest developments. Articles cover the molecular basis of human disease including germline cancer genetics, clinical manifestations of genetic disorders, applications of molecular genetics to medical practice and the systematic evaluation of such applications worldwide. It was established in September 1964 and is published by the BMJ Group. The editor-in-chief is Huw Dorkins (University of Oxford). Less
