| 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. | Network-based GWAS integrates conventional genome-wide association study results with biological network data — such as protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks or gene co-expression graphs — to identify disease-relevant gene modules or subnetworks. Instead of reporting only the top individual SNPs, this approach propagates association signals through molecular interaction networks, surfacing gene clusters whose collective signal implicates them in complex-trait biology even when no single variant reaches genome-wide significance alone. |
