Clinical Genetics

Clinical genetics is the branch of medicine that involves the diagnosis and management of hereditary disorders. A clinical geneticist is a physician who diagnoses and prescribes treatment for patients with conditions that result from genetic anomalies. Gathers data and evaluates the medical histories of patients and their families. Collects and analyzes DNA samples from patients and family members. Clinical Genetics is the medical specialty which provides a diagnostic service and "genetic counselling" for individuals or families with, or at risk of, conditions which may have a genetic basis. Genetic disorders can affect any body system and any age group. The aim of Genetic Services is to help those affected by, or at risk of, a genetic disorder to live and reproduce as normally as possible. Genetic disorders include -Chromosomal abnormalities, which cause birth defects, mental retardation and/or reproductive problems. Single gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, Huntington's disease and sickle cell disease. Familial cancer and cancer-prone syndromes such as inherited breast or colorectal cancer and neurofibromatosis. Birth defects with a genetic component such as neural tube defects and cleft lip and palate. In addition a large number of individuals with birth defects and/or learning disabilities are referred and investigated for genetic factors. Individuals identified through childhood or pregnancy screening programmes also require genetic services. In the future, as the genetic contributions to common later-onset disorders such as diabetes and coronary heart disease are identified, genetic services may be required for those at high risk. Testing for genetic factors that affect drug prescribing will also increasingly become an important activity. To increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals top online publishing journals are indexed in different indexing and archiving services. Indexing provides easy access of the article online. The top online publishing journals publish articles which are cited as references by many authors in their work. The citations are important for a journal to get impact factor. Impact factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent articles published in the journal. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the journals with high impact factor are considered more important than those with lower ones. Indexing provides easy access of the article online. The international journals are among the best open access journals in the world, set out to publish the most comprehensive, relevant and reliable information based on the current research and development on a variety of subjects. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles, editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact factor plays a major role for the particular journal.  Clinical genetics is a  peer review journals  is a peer reviewed journals works to publish most reliable and complete source of information regarding advance discoveries and development in the path of Clinical genetics.
