| Sintesi≠ | Network-based EWAS extends conventional epigenome-wide association studies by overlaying differentially methylated positions or regions onto biological interaction networks — such as protein-protein interaction, co-expression, or gene regulatory networks — to identify functionally coherent epigenetic modules rather than isolated CpG hits. This integration increases statistical power for detecting weak signals and reveals coordinated epigenetic dysregulation across pathways. | 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. |
