The Emerging Dominance of Genetic Disorders in Under-5 Mortality: A Global Comparative Assessment and Frontier Analysis, 1990–2021

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Global under-5 mortality has declined by approximately 60% since 1990, driven largely by reductions in communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional (CMNN) diseases. Yet the degree to which genetic disorders now impede further progress toward Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.2 remains poorly quantified. No prior study has assessed the aggregate burden of genetically determined conditio...
