概要	Network-based gene set enrichment analysis (network GSEA) extends classical GSEA by incorporating biological interaction networks — such as protein-protein interaction (PPI) or co-expression graphs — into the enrichment test. Instead of treating each gene independently, the method propagates differential expression signals across network edges, allowing genes that are co-regulated or functionally connected to jointly support the significance of a gene set. The result is a biologically coherent enrichment score that accounts for pathway topology and gene-gene dependencies.	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.
