The phrase "associations studies" is not correct in English; it should be "association studies." You can use "association studies" in contexts related to research, particularly in genetics or epidemiology, where the goal is to identify relationships between genetic variants and traits or diseases.
Example: "The researchers conducted several association studies to determine the genetic factors contributing to the disease."
Alternatives: "correlation studies" or "linkage studies."
Although combining population genomic and association approaches is a powerful way to overcome some of the limitations of associations studies, GWAS in populations where phenotype is associated with strong population structure produces problems in separating true positives from loci that diverged simply as a function of demographic processes (see File S5).
Despite these individual-level associations, studies have found that proximity to bars is unrelated to alcohol consumption (Bernstein et al. 2007) and negatively associated with drinking and driving (Gruenewald et al. 2002).
New study design methods (particularly genome-wide associations studies [GWAS]) along with genome project data and larger datasets have allowed several additional MS genes to be identified and consistently replicated.
To demonstrate these associations, studies with larger samples of individuals with OA are needed.
Although yeast is now a prominent model for QTL mapping, there are no examples of genome wide associations studies (GWAS).
All these polymorphisms have been studied by other authors in associations studies related to psychiatric diseases [ 17- 21].
Several genome-wide association studies have investigated risk variants associated with migraines [10, 11].
Munafo says that through genome-wide association studies "we have identified 108 regions clearly associated with schizophrenia risk.
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) for hyperuricemia identified ABCG2 as tightly associated with hyperuricemia and gout[121 124].
The number of genes associated with diseases is expanding rapidly because of so-called whole genome association studies.
"But instead the association studies started".
