Muhtasari	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.	Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a computational method that determines whether a predefined set of genes — representing a biological pathway, process, or function — shows statistically significant, coordinated differences between two biological conditions. Unlike simple fold-change filtering, GSEA operates on all measured genes ranked by a correlation metric, detecting subtle but consistent shifts across an entire pathway even when no single gene passes a significance threshold.
