Human Heredity publishes research on the genetic basis of human diseases and traits. Studies investigate the association between genetic variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms and rare coding variants, and conditions such as Mendelian disorders, lung cancer, asthma, heart failure, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. The journal also explores the utility of genetic sequencing technologies like whole-exome sequencing for diagnosis and the application of modeling techniques to understand phenotype trajectories.
