The biological interpretation of differentially methylated sites derived from Epigenome-Wide-Association Studies (EWAS) remains a significant challenge. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a general tool to aid biological interpretation, yet its correct and unbiased implementation in the EWAS context is difficult due to the differential probe representation of Illumina Infinium DNA methylation beadchips.
