Declining or Waning
- Traditional Genetic Testing Methods:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focusing on conventional genetic testing methods as newer, more comprehensive technologies such as whole-genome sequencing gain traction. - Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT):
Research on NIPT, while still relevant, appears to be declining as the field moves towards more comprehensive genomic analyses that encompass broader genetic conditions beyond chromosomal abnormalities. - Pathogenesis of Common Genetic Disorders:
While still a critical area, there seems to be a reduction in publications specifically focusing on common genetic disorders, possibly due to a shift towards more rare and complex genetic conditions that require detailed exploration.
