| Sintesi≠ | 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. | 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. |
