الملخص	Network-based eQTL analysis extends classical eQTL mapping by embedding genetic variant-to-expression associations within gene regulatory or protein interaction networks. Rather than treating each SNP-gene pair independently, this approach leverages network topology — such as co-expression modules or known pathway structures — to improve statistical power, reduce multiple testing burden, and reveal how genetic variants perturb entire regulatory programs rather than isolated transcripts.	eQTL analysis identifies genomic loci (variants, typically SNPs) whose genotype statistically associates with variation in the expression level of one or more genes. By jointly profiling DNA-level variation and RNA-level expression in the same individuals, eQTL studies decode the regulatory grammar of the genome — revealing which variants control how much a gene is transcribed, in which tissues, and under what conditions.
