Environment-wide association study

An environment-wide association study, also known as an environmental-wide association study (abbreviated EWAS), is a type of epidemiological study analogous to the genome-wide association study, or GWAS. The EWAS systematically examines the association between a complex disease and multiple individual environmental factors, controlling for multiple hypothesis testing.[1][2][3]
