Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Can someone just quickly explain the difference between a syndrome and an association? I'm trying to write that CHARGE is a syndrome because it is set of non random symptoms that occur together due to a genetic anomaly whereas.an association, which is what CHARGE was once considered is a set of random symptoms that appear to occur together. Am I on the right track? Chantelle -- http://spacecatsgarden.blogspot.com/ => My blog space " I let my mind out to wander, and it never came back!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Chantelle my understanding is that when a genetic causation is identified for an association (like the CHD7 finding), it can then be considered " officially " a syndrome.
