Scope

BMC Medical Genetics is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on the effects of genetic variation in individuals, families and among populations in relation to human health and disease.

It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
