| Resum≠ | A genome-wide association study (GWAS) systematically tests hundreds of thousands to millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the human genome for statistical association with a trait or disease. By comparing allele frequencies between cases and controls — or by regressing SNP genotypes on a quantitative phenotype — GWAS identifies genomic loci that harbor common genetic variants contributing to complex traits. Since its large-scale debut in 2007, GWAS has catalogued thousands of robust disease–variant associations across virtually every common human condition. | An epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) is a hypothesis-free, genome-scale method that systematically tests whether epigenetic marks — predominantly CpG-site DNA methylation — differ between individuals with and without a trait, disease, or exposure. By scanning hundreds of thousands of genomic positions simultaneously, EWAS identifies loci where the epigenome is reproducibly associated with a phenotype, offering a layer of biological regulation that classical GWAS does not capture. |
