The abundance of available information for each disease from multiple sources (e.g. as genetic, regulatory, metabolic, and protein-protein interaction) constitutes both an advantage and a challenge in identifying disease specific underlying mechanisms. Integration of multi-source data is a rising topic and a great challenge in precision medicine and is crucial in enhancing disease understanding, identifying meaningful clusters of molecular mechanisms and increasing precision and personalisation towards the goal of Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine (PPPM). The overall aim of this work was to develop a novel network-based integration methodology with the following characteristics: (i) maximise the number of data sources, (ii) utilise holistic approaches to integrate these sources (iii) be simple, flexible and extendable, (iv) be conclusive. Here, we present the case of Alzheimer's disease as a paradigm for illustrating our novel approach. Significance: In this work we present an integration methodology, which aggregates a large number of the available data sources and types by exploiting the holistic nature of network approaches. It is simple, flexible and extendable generating solid conclusions regarding the molecular mechanisms that underlie the input data. We have illustrated the strength of our proposed methodology using Alzheimer's disease as a paradigm. This method is expected to serve as a stepping-stone for further development of integration methods of multi-source omicdata and to contribute to progress towards the goal of Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine (PPPM). The output of this methodology may act as a reference map of implicated pathways in the disease under investigation, where pathways related to additional omics data from any kind of experiment may be projected. This will increase the precision in the understanding of the disease and may contribute to personalised approaches for patients with different disease-related pathway profile, leading to a more precise, personalised and ideally preventive management of the disease.
