Top prenatal diagnostics research projects financed by the National Institutes of Health

Here is a list of top projects related to prenatal screening and diagnostics financed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) over the past 25 years.
Of course, the Human Genome Project and other sequencing/interpretation projects made major contributions to the field; however, it looks like the NIH is overlooking prenatal diagnostics as a research area.
