    Gamification enhances learning experiences in genetics, genomics, and pharmacogenomics by improving motivation, engagement, and skill development.

  • 2

    A bibliometric analysis identified 112 peer-reviewed studies on gamified educational interventions in genetics and pharmacogenomics from 2000 to 2025.

  • 3

    Research activity in gamification education increased significantly after 2015, primarily from institutions in high-income countries.

  • 4

    Thematic analysis highlighted student engagement, interactive learning, and digital tools, with limited focus on long-term learning outcomes.

  • 5

    The study underscores the need for further research on gamification's application in genomic education, especially in low- and middle-income regions.
