If two or more variables have joint outcomes that are more frequent than would be expected by chance (if the two variables were independent), they are associated. An association study statistically examines patterns of co-occurrence of variables, such as genetic variants and disease phenotypes, to identify factors (genes) that might contribute to disease risk.
