This Special Issue of , titled "Genetic and Molecular Basis of Inherited Disorders", presents a collection of pioneering research articles that advance our understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying various hereditary diseases. The studies employ cutting-edge genomic techniques, including next-generation sequencing and genome-wide association studies, to elucidate novel genetic variants and their functional implications. Key investigations span a diverse range of conditions, from congenital idiopathic nystagmus and hereditary hearing loss to familial hypercholesterolemia and rare cancer predisposition syndromes.

Article Synopsis
- Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a genetic disorder affecting brain white matter, combining features of two previous conditions: pigmentary orthochromatic leukodystrophy (POLD) and hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS).
- Recent genetic research has identified three distinct types of ALSP: CSF1R-related ALSP, AARS2-related leukoencephalopathy, and AARS (also known as HDLS-S), each with unique characteristics.
- The chapter provides a comprehensive overview of clinical markers, imaging findings, and potential treatment options for these conditions, highlighting both their shared features and differences.

Article Synopsis
- * It can resemble other skin disorders but is distinguishable by its unique histopathological features.
- * Diagnosis may require a biopsy, as seen in a case where a 50-year-old female was confirmed to have DDD despite no family history or abnormal lab tests, highlighting the need for awareness of rare skin conditions in medical evaluations.

Article Synopsis
- Freckles are a common skin condition that has a hereditary link, with previous research identifying many genetic risk factors through studies on other diseases.
- A new study conducted a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and meta-analysis on 4,813 Chinese individuals, revealing new genetic variants linked to freckles.
- The research identified 59 new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 13 novel genes that may increase susceptibility to freckles, contributing significantly to the understanding of their genetic basis.
