However, the most strongly associated SNPs and even the direction of association differ between cancers.
The direction of association with disease is noteworthy: heterozygosity was associated with protection against IPD in each study population.
Residential ecology was significantly associated with fertility although the direction of association was changed when other covariates were included.
Also, SCARVAsnp takes into consideration the direction of association by effectively modelling positively and negatively associated variants.
The direction of association indicates whether the concept C i is associated with the concept C j or vice versa.
Secondly, RVs are grouped according to the direction of association, with separate groups for positively- and negatively-associated RVs.
Latitude and radiation were significantly associated with cancer incidence, and the direction of association was consistent between the surrogates.
Only markers that were significantly associated in both cohorts, and had the same direction of association, were studied further.
The direction of association in one study was negative, i.e., increasing age was associated with decreased health knowledge [ 33].
However, they were not associated with TSH levels statistically and PFOA showed a different direction of association.
The magnitude and direction of association varied per autonomy dimension.
