The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics (JMD), the official publication of the Association for Molecular Pathology, co-published by the American Society for Investigative Pathology, publishes high-quality original papers on scientific advances in the translation and validation of molecular discoveries in medicine into the clinical diagnostic setting, and the description and application of technological advances in the field of molecular diagnostic medicine. The impact factor is 2.901.*

Articles report novel discoveries with direct application to clinical diagnostics or clinicopathologic correlations including studies in oncology, infectious diseases, inherited diseases, predisposition to disease, or the description of polymorphisms linked to disease states or normal variations; the application of diagnostic methodologies in clinical trials; and the development of new or improved molecular methods for diagnosis or monitoring of disease or disease predisposition.

Special Features include Consultations in Molecular Diagnostics, a peer-reviewed section featuring brief, case- related articles that illustrate a classic principle, difficult interpretation, or new approach in molecular diagnostics. Reviews, Commentaries, and Special Reports provide focus on controversial or “hot” research topics and issues.
